Houston. Blue Mass Honors Law Enforcement/Public Safety Personnel
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia was among the attendees at the Law Enforcement Blue Mass
held on September 28th
, in downtown Houston at the Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral with his Eminence
Cardinal Daniel Dinardo officiating. The Blue Mass is sponsored by the Office of Correctional
Ministries of the Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston which is held to honor all Law
Enforcement / Public Safety personnel that work in the ten Counties of Southeast Texas that are within
the boundaries of the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese. On September 29, 1934, approximately 1,100
police and fire fighters dressed in blue uniforms marched into St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in
Washington D.C. for the celebration of the First Blue Mass. The Blue Mass is observed on or near the
Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of police officers, correction officers, guards,
public safety personnel and soldiers. Reported by Larry Stegent

Pearland CPA Class 37 is only 3 weeks away from graduating. The graduation ceremony will be held on Thursday October 24th at
7:00pm at the Natatorium.
I am proud to announce that the PCPAAA Handicap Enforcement program has reached a huge milestone. Since the program’s
inception, we have written over 7500 handicap parking ghouls and goblins citations which just surpassed the half a million dollar mark!
PCPAAA Strikes Again!!! Last month the PCPAAA supplemented the PD Budget of the Pearland Police Department. A trailer designated solely for firearms training. Due to an increase in Officer involved shootings in Pearland and the greater Houston area, the Pearland Police Department has been striving to be proactive by expanding our fire arms training program. Due to the expansion of our training program, there was an immediate need for a trailer to haul firearms equipment like the firearms targets, ammunition and weapons to and from the range, later this month, cabinets and shelving will be installed to complete this beautiful piece of equipment. Thank you PCPAAA for your continued support and generosity!

Trick or Treat Trail scheduled October 31st
Now for an interesting factoid, Halloween started several thousand years ago with the Ancient Celts (a group of pre-Christian mystics who worshipped nature). They considered October 31st the end of the year, and they threw a big party which was known as Samhain. It was a celebration of the autumn harvest and the Celtic New Year. They believed spirits could come back and visit with living relatives.
NOTE: Remember that registered sex offenders will not be allowed to give away candy or decorate for Halloween.
Although these rules are in place for sex offenders, please do your homework by going to https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/SexOffender/PublicSite to make sure your children do not visit the homes of these bad people. Reported by Sandi Miller
