Blue Mass

Members of the law enforcement community in and around El Paso participated in the annual Blue Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral Sept. 28. The annual Mass was held to pray for those who serve in law enforcement, for first responders and to remember those who have given their lives in service to others.
