The Annual Blessing of the Fleet will take place today, July 28, 2012, at noon at the Port of Galilee.
The event will feature a parade of commercial and recreational vessels of all sizes and colors. The Bishop, along with local priests, bless each and every decorated vessel as they pass before them and a panel of celebrity judges rate the decorations in a variety of categories. Recent years' judges have included the Governor of RI, the Lt. Governor, Senator Reed, Congressman Langevin, Miss Rhode Island and other local dignitaries.
