The event in Indianapolis aims to draw the Church into a deeper intimacy with Jesus and inspire thousands to be moved to share the Eucharistic love of the Lord “for the life of the world” (John 6:51).

Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, and all in public safety will be recognized for their faithful commitment and self-sacrifice at the Blue Mass.
