Blue Mass
The Diocese of Bismarck would like to extend an invitation
to attend the third annual “Blue Mass” being held on May
13, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit with
Bishop David D. Kagan as the main celebrant.
The name “Blue Mass” originated from the color of the uniforms worn by law enforcement personnel and other emergency responders across the country. The “Blue Mass” is an
opportunity to honor the memory of those who lost their
lives in service for truth and justice. We remember and pray
for all active, retired, and deceased law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel that
have served in these invaluable disciplines.
Please come and join us as we offer a Mass to honor those
that have fallen in the line of duty protecting our communities and those men and women that continue to serve today.
