The First Ecumenical Prayer Service for First Responders was hosted by St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church this past May, followed by light refreshments.
Approximately 200 people attended to help honor Firemen, EMS, Sheriff/Police – Active and Retired.
The Ecumenical group that shared in this service met after the event and decided we should try to make it an annual event, each year being rotated to another church in Englewood to serve as host – St. David’s Episcopal Church will host in 2019.
