More than 500 people attended the Blue Mass Saturday, May 30, at Holy Family, Woodruff. The purpose of the Mass was to honor and offer thanks to God for the dedication and sacrifice made by community emergency personnel. Above, Fr. Aaron Devett blesses a fire engine.
“The Northwoods has many unsung heroes, which we saw just a fraction of at the Blue Mass,” said Merry Jorgensen, office administrator for the parish. Emergency personnel participated in the Mass and also received a blessing from Fr. Devett. (Submitted photos)
