Bishop Donald Kettler will celebrate a special “Blue Mass” to honor first responders and other emergency personnel at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 25 Eighth Ave., South, St. Cloud. A reception will follow. All are welcome to attend.
“Our police officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel make many sacrifices to serve us and our communities in our greatest times of need,” Bishop Kettler said. “They put their lives on the line for our benefit.
This Mass is an opportunity to thank them for their willingness to serve, show our support, and pray for their safety. It’s a tradition that I look forward to every year.”
This is the third year Bishop Kettler will celebrate a Mass for first responders. The Diocese of Saint Cloud is comprised of 16 counties in central Minnesota.
