Bishop McManus has invited all churches with bells in the Diocese of Worcester to join Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris by ringing them tomorrow at 2 p.m., when the two-day reopening ceremonies will begin.

Each year since then, city officials and firefighters have honored the Worcester 6 on Dec. 3. “The fact that they’re not forgotten,” Father Slavinskas said, “speaks volumes to the way in which the city of Worcester bonds together to show that they truly do support those who are putting their lives on the line every day.”
