Thank you for joining us for the 1st Annual Blue Mass at St. John the Apostle. May God Bless all law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel who have served/are serving the community. A light reception was held after the Mass in the parish hall. In the pictures below, you can see the prayer coins that were available for those who have served or are currently serving as a law enforcement officer, firefighter or emergency medical personnel. The Blue Mass was sponsored by Knights of Columbus Council 1150, along with all Minot KC Councils 4894, 9839 and 9906 and Garrison Council 4715. "A Blue Mass is an opportunity for Catholics and non-Catholics to come together to pray for, and celebrate all active, retired and deceased law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel who serve the community. We also wanted to offer prayers to God for their continued protection. The color blue, predominantly worn by the men and women in service, provides the name for the Blue Mass."
