Venice Diocese hosted the 2010 Yom Hashoah Memorial Service, April 25, 2010, 2:30 p.m., at the Epiphany Cathedral.

Bishop Frank J. Dewane of the Diocese of Venice welcomed more than 550 people to the Epiphany Cathedral for the “Hour of Remembrance: an Interreligious Service Commemorating Yom Hashoah.” CCJS board member, Deacon Pat Macaulay of the Diocese of Venice, shared the following report from the Florida Catholic:

Remembering those who suffered and those who died in the Holocaust is not enough. Unless people start to take the threat that another Holocaust is possible then it could become a reality again.

This was the powerful theme of the annual Yom Hashoah – An Hour of Remembrance, an interreligious service April 25 at Epiphany Cathedral Parish which included more than 550 people.

Keynote speaker Father Dennis McManus, who was recently appointed theologian to Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan of New York, Moderator of Jewish Affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and who has been involved in interreligious dialogue for more than 35 years, sounded a warning that unless people start thinking of the Holocaust as something that was not an isolated time in world history then it will prevent people from seeing the real danger of the Holocaust happening again.  Click Here for more information.
