A Mass to honor and pray for Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Medical Service Personnel
Information provided by the Catholic Diocese of Burlington
The Most Reverend Salvatore R. Matano, Bishop of Burlington, will be the main celebrant at a diocesan-wide "Blue Mass", to honor and pray for Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Medical Service Personnel who serve throughout the state of Vermont on Wed., Sept. 15, at 11:00 am at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Montpelier. The "Blue Mass" has become an annual tradition in the United States, dating back to 1934, when the first Blue Mass was offered at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Washington, DC. Prior to Mass, the law enforcement officers and public safety officials will gather outside the Montpelier fire house for the solemn processional into St. Augustine’s Church.
The faithful of the Diocese are cordially invited to join the law enforcement officers, fire and emergency service personnel to pray for those who serve the common good, many times placing themselves in harm’s way, and to remember those who have fallen in the line of duty.
