ANZAC Day Service
ANZAC Day Service
Thursday April 25,2024 at 6 a.m. CST
ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first military action by the newly formed Australian and New Zealand Army Corps — or ANZAC — in World War I’s 1915 Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey. National observances have expanded to honor all Australians who have served and perished in war or peacekeeping. The solemn occasion is about sacrifice, however, not Gallipoli or Australian nationhood. In Australia, ANZAC Day services held at dawn convey the message “Lest We Forget.” In the U.S., traditional services of remembrance occur at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and in several large cities with Australian Consulate General locations.
As planned, the Houston ANZAC Day observance has a special service at on April 25 at 6:00 a.m. CST in the Cathedral. All are welcome to attend.
