Blue Mass in Commemoration of September 11th

September 11, 2006 marks the fifth anniversary of the devastating terrorist attack on the United States of America. The Most Reverend Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito will be the main celebrant and homilist at a “Blue Mass” in commemoration of the September 11th tragedies. All are invited to prayerfully join together in remembrance of those who lost their lives on that dreadful day as we continue to pray for peace, protection from evil and
for the men and women who give in service each day defending freedom.

The Mass will take place at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Jensen Beach, FL on Monday September 11 at 11:00 a.m. in the main church on 2555 NE Savanna Road. State and local officials as well as law enforcement personnel will be in attendance. Following The Mass there will be a procession across the street to Fire Station # 16 where there will be special presentation of a commemorative piece of sculpture created by artist Timothy Schmalz. The sculpture depicts, hidden in its wings, a city and fire personnel.

Media coverage is welcome. News cameras will be allowed inside the Church, however flash photography is *not* permitted.
