Blue Mass |
|||
The Blue Mass is hosted to honor the work
of public safety personnel including law enforcement officials,
firefighters, and emergency medical services personnel. The term “Blue
Mass” is a reference to the color of the uniforms worn by many in these
professions, and dates back to 1934. Particularly in the wake of events
of September 11th, 2001, the Blue Mass is a way to recognize the
sacrifice of police, firefighters, and EMS personnel, and to remember
those who have given their lives in service to their communities. The
Knights of Columbus has taken an active role in sponsoring Blue Masses
in the communities in which it serves, to join with the community in
expressing appreciation to these dedicated professionals for all their
selfless work. The following are scenes from a Blue Mass held at St.
Isaac Jogues Church.
