The annual tradition of the Blue Mass procession takes place on Saturday, September 9th. The honorary Mass prays over all first responders, honoring the fallen and praying for the safety of the heroes among us.

The procession begins each year at the Law Enforcement Memorial on the Kankakee County Courthouse lawn and proceeds to St. Patrick Church for the Blue Mass.

We encourage first responders and the community OF ALL FAITHS to attend this special service. Mass begins at 4pm at 428 S. Indiana Ave in Kankakee, IL.
