The terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, tested the faith of many, but for Tom Colucci, it led to the calling of priesthood. "I think the tragedy of 9/11, it just confirmed my faith in God even more. There has to be something after this life," he said. Before he was Father Colucci, he was.

For New York readers, the important questions are what this story changes, who is affected, what remains uncertain, and whether official records or public responses support the claims being discussed.

BigNY links to the original media report so readers can review the reporting directly. When official records, agency pages, court filings, audits, or public statements are available, they should be read alongside the media account for full context.
