The Rochester Sisters of Mercy will host their 3rd Annual Field of Honor® in a patriotic tribute to our military, veterans, police officers, fire fighters and medical first responders. Flags may be sponsored to honor our heroes, and then the displayed flags will be retained by each flag’s sponsor at the close of the event. Proceeds will benefit the Mercy Bridges a ministry which provides tutors who teach basic literacy skills to adults for whom English is a Second Language.
The U.S. flags will be posted from September 8th through the 10th forming a stirring formation of red, white and blue. The Rochester Field of Honor® flag display is the perfect opportunity to unite as a community and remember those who defend and protect us. It is an experience hard to describe, but never to be forgotten. We invite all to walk with us among the posted flags. The display is open to all visitors without charge. Don’t miss it.
