The Annual Blue Mass and Luncheon
honoring our men and women
who protect and serve our community.

At 11:30am at St. Joseph Catholic Church
600 East 26th Street in Bryan.

Msgr. John McCaffrey, Pastor of St. Joseph Church
will be the main celebrant and homilist for the Mass

We invite all members of law enforcement, fire and rescue, and anyone in our community who has suffered a loss to join us in this Mass of honor and healing.

R.S.V.P. by Monday, February 18, 2008 to St. Joseph Church at 822-2721 with your name, agency name, and number of guest attending.

The “Blue Mass” refers to the blue uniforms worn by so many public safety personnel and it dates back to 1934. It is meant to honor those who daily protect and serve us. At this Mass, we will remember law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency personnel who have fallen in the line of duty. We will also pray for safety and protection of all men and women serving to protect our community.
