St. Joseph Catholic Church, 2590 US-190, Livingston, TX 77351.
The First District of Texas invites all Fourth Degree Sir Knights to consider supporting this meaningful Blue Mass by participating in uniform as a Fourth Degree Turnout.
A Blue Mass is a special opportunity for the Church to offer prayers of thanksgiving and protection for the men and women who faithfully serve our communities as law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, dispatchers, corrections officers, and all first responders. Their willingness to place themselves in harm’s way for the safety of others reflects the virtues of sacrifice, courage, and service that we, as Fourth Degree Knights, deeply admire.
Our presence in uniform is more than ceremonial. It is a visible sign of:
-Our support for the clergy celebrating this Mass.
-Our gratitude for those who protect and serve our communities.
-Our commitment to the Fourth Degree principles of Patriotism and Faithful Citizenship.
-The Knights of Columbus’ continued witness in both Church and community.
Following Mass, all first responders and their families are invited to a complimentary dinner, generously prepared by Fr. Manie, providing an opportunity for fellowship and appreciation.
We recognize that Livingston is a considerable drive for many Sir Knights throughout the First District. Travel time, family commitments, and other obligations may prevent some from attending, and those circumstances are certainly understood. However, for those who are able to make the journey, your presence will send a powerful message of encouragement to the parish, its clergy, and especially to the first responders being honored.
