Camden Diocese Blue Mass Goes Virtual Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Camden Diocesan Blue Mass that is typically held annually in Gloucester Township is going virtual amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Bishop Dennis Sullivan will honor law enforcement and first responders at the annual mass at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 29. It will stream on the Diocese of Camden Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter pages.

This year’s mass comes at a time when law enforcement across the country is under the microscope amid civil unrest following the police-involved deaths of George Floyd, Jacob Blake and others.

“Please join in with the celebration for the sacrifice and dedication of the law enforcement and first responders in the Camden Diocese,” the diocese said in its event announcement. “During these difficult times for law enforcement, it is prayer that will make us better and stronger.”
