Mass of Thanksgiving & Remembrance for Law Enforcement, Fire & Emergency

Personnel

Saturday, Sept. 9th at 10 am at Saint Paul Cathedral

Please join us as we come together to publicly thank our law enforcement, fire and emergency personnel for their service to our community. Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Harry J. Flynn. A short reception will follow. On this fifth anniversary of the fateful September 11^th, we will recognize and appreciate our civic servants who look after our safety. We will also commemorate those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The Galtier Society (an association of Catholic professionals in the Twin Cities) and the Archdiocesan office for Family, Laity, Youth & Young Adults are the sponsors for this event.
