Annual Blue Mass scheduled for Sept. 11 at Cathedral

September 1, 2023

By The Catholic Week
The Archdiocese of Mobile will celebrate the annual Blue Mass on Monday, Sept. 11 at 12:10 p.m. at the Cathedral–Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.
The Archdiocese of Mobile has sponsored a Mass for First Responders since 1977.
In more recent years this Mass has been celebrated at the Cathedral and has been called the “Blue Mass.”
This is a time for the people of our community to pray for the safety of all involved in public safety and to honor all who protect us as First Responders — fire, law enforcement and medical personnel.
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, we have also remembered and given thanks for all who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
Fifth-graders from Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Mobile will attend and join in honoring our First Responders.
The public is invited to attend as well.
