Good afternoon, everyone,
Attached please find the final Blue Mass poster for the Mass on Sunday, December 3 at 10:30am. The Mass will be at Saint Ita Church (5500 N. Broadway Ave.) Fr. Dan will be the celebrant and homilist and Fr. Bill will concelebrate. If you would be able to give us a rough estimate on how many officers will join us from the police and fire departments, it would be great. Fr. Alejandro would like to give them a small keepsake for them to take. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have a safe and happy thanksgiving!
Soledad
