The Sun broke through the clouds just minutes before hundreds of law enforcement officers gathered outside of the Cathedral of Saint Francis for the 2012 Diocese of Metuchen Blue Mass. This annual event honors those among us who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities.

This year the Sayreville Police Department was given the honor of acting as the host agency for the event. Marching behind our Honor Guard, Chief Zebrowski led the long lines of Officers from local, county, state, and federal agencies in to the Cathedral for the Mass. The celebrant was Bishop Paul Bootkoski who was joined by many concelebrating Priests including Father Thomas Ryan of Our Lady of Victories and Father Kenneth Murphy of Saint Stanislaus Kostka Church.

We are very grateful to the members of our community who attended to show their support. In addition to several elected Officials and many family members we are especially grateful to the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students from both OLV and Saint Stan’s who joined in the celebration.

As the 9/11 anniversary approaches several of our members are again participating in the annual Tour De Force cycling event to raise money for families of Police Officers killed in the line of duty. This year the ride started on September 8 in Boston and will conclude at the World Trade Center site on September 11. Good luck to Chief Zebrowski, Sergeants O’Donnell and Skarzynski, Officer Keith Grausam, and Dr. Vip Nanavati. And special thanks to Sergeant Gottstine, Captain Marcinczyk (retired), and Mr. Ruben Salgado for keeping the wheels turning and the cyclists fed.

We are grateful that our members give generously of their personal time to support this event.

Chief John Zebrowski would like to invite residents to join the members of our Department at the annual Diocese of Metuchen Blue Mass. The Mass which honors members of the Law Enforcement Community, will be held on Wednesday, October 10th at 10am at the Cathedral of Saint Francis, 32 Elm Avenue, Metuchen.

The Sayreville Police Department is proud to be the host agency for 2012. All are welcome.
