Make plans now to join us at Our Lady of Light’s Blue Mass honoring the work of Public Safety Personnel on Tuesday, November 12th at 6:30pm. All community members, First Responders, their families, and friends are invited to attend.
A Blue Mass is celebrated in the Catholic Church for those employed in the public safety field. The color blue relates to the blue uniforms predominately used by these services. The mass honors those who have fallen in the line of duty and those currently serving, and gives the community an opportunity to show gratitude for those who serve so courageously, as well as their families, who risk so much so others can live safely. The first Blue Mass was held in Washington, DC in 1934 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
Apparatus will be on display and a reception will follow the Mass in the Parish Center. Our Lady of Light is located at 19680 Cypress View Dr., Fort Myers, FL 33967.
