On Sunday, October 2, 2022, the Feast of the Guardian Angels, the Diocese of Lafayette will hold its annual “Blue Mass” at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, 515 Cathedral Street in Lafayette.
The Blue Mass is designed to express gratitude, show our appreciation and pray for all first responders in our community: Police Officers, Sheriff’s Deputies, State Troopers, Fire Fighters and Emergency Medical Personnel.
We owe so much to these essential groups who provide such outstanding service in our community. The Mass offers us an opportunity to thank them and also pray for their safety in the tasks they perform.
I believe it will help to form a closer bond between them and the people they serve.
Please inform all those in your departments about the upcoming Blue Mass and extend a heartfelt welcome for them to attend.
With every good wish, I am
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Most Reverend J. Douglas Deshotel, D.D.
Bishop of Lafayette
