In honor of Valley emergency personnel

It will be an opportunity to honor all of the Valley’s police, fire, and emergency personnel and their families. 


The Rev. Jeffrey Gubbiotti, pastor, will offer a special blessing to invoke God’s protection for all whose jobs in service to the public can put them in harm's way. 

All personnel are invited to march in the procession, in dress uniform, and be seated with their families in the front section of the church. 

The procession will form in the rear of the church at 10:40 a.m., five minutes before the start of the 10:45 a.m. Mass.
