A special invitation is extended to all serving in Law Enforcement and all First Responders to join us in celebrating our annual Blue Mass on Sunday, September 29th, at 10:00 AM. at St. Francis of Assisi Church to honor and to pray for all who “protect and serve.”

This time honored tradition of praying for the blessing and protection of our public servants in law enforcement, fire department and emergency medical services goes back to the first Blue Mass in Washington, DC in 1923. Since then, dioceses across the country have celebrated annually those whose service is often identified with their blue uniform. It is a special time for us to honor their unselfish service and to pray for their safety.

Prayer Intention: For the blessing and protection of all who serve in Law Enforcement, as Firefighters, and First Responders, and for all their loved ones, we pray to the Lord.
