Father’s Day mass honors fallen officers
On a picturesque Father’s Day at the Gold Star Families Park and Memorial, Chicago Police Officers and the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice joined one another for what Father Dan Brandt called “a sacred time together.”
Those gathered listened as Father Dan read Scripture with the gentle sound of water cascading down the memorial be- hind him — a combination that allowed for reflection and re- membrance. The reading recounted the story of the calming of the storm, something Brandt shared because of how Chica- go Police Officers do that every day, through the most difficult of times, with some not making it home at the end of the day.
“Thanks be to God for each and every one of you,” Father Dan offered.
