THE MEMORIAL MASS HELD ON APRIL 28, 2008 AT ST. PATRICK’S WAS A SUCCESS. Over 3,000 unionized construction laborers and contractors attended the ceremony, performed by Father Brian Jordan, to give tribute to the 13 family members of those who lost their loved ones this past year in construction accidents. An emotional speech was given by Mike Marrone of Bovis Lend Lease to express the love and care the unionized construction industry has for their fellow co-workers.
