The Erie County District Attorney\u2019s Office is encouraging community members to attend the 4th Annual Blue Mass, a special event dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of active and retired public safety personnel, military members, and veterans.<\/p>\n

The annual celebration serves as an opportunity for residents to express their gratitude and support for the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others. Family members, friends, and supporters are invited to join in recognizing first responders, veterans, and military personnel for their commitment to the community and country.<\/p>\n

First responders, military personnel, and veterans are especially encouraged to attend in uniform as a visible sign of service and solidarity. Following the Mass, attendees will have the opportunity to gather for a reception and fellowship.<\/p>\n

The Blue Mass has become a meaningful tradition in Erie County, bringing together law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, military service members, veterans, their families, and community supporters in a shared spirit of appreciation and remembrance.<\/p>\n

Community members interested in attending can find additional event details through the Erie County District Attorney\u2019s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy of Erie County District Attorney\u2019s Office The Erie County District Attorney\u2019s Office is encouraging community members to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[107900,136,138,137,13068,4424,294,2349],"class_list":["post-252930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-blue-mass","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-first-responders","tag-military","tag-public-safety","tag-veterans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
