Every year, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church holds its annual Blue Mass, recognizing law-enforcement and fire officials who dedicate their lives to protecting the American people and honoring those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. The 2013 event, held on Apr. 7, brought together color guards, bagpipers, law-enforcement and fire families and their supporters for a formal procession and solemn Mass.
