A special outdoor Mass in honor of first responders was held at St. Cletus Parish in La Grange on Sept. 11. It was the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The congregation gave thanks and prayed for all active and retired police officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel.
Students from St. Cletus School, Annaliese Dorchinecz, and Lysette and Alexander Luna, hand out thank you cards to first responders after Mass.
