What is a Blue Mass?
A Blue Mass is celebrated annually for those employed in the public safety industry, which includes police officers, firefighters, corrections officers and paramedics. The name comes from the traditional uniform color associated with law enforcement.
Today, we recognize, honor and wish to extend blessings upon all active-duty and retired first responders and their families, and remember all those who served and have gone before us. Please plan to join us and invite your family, colleagues and friends.
