About this event

November 11th – Veterans Day

11:00 a.m. Mass at St. Vitus Church

Please join St. Vitus parish on Veterans Day, Wednesday November 11 for Mass at 11:00 a.m. to honors all American military veterans who have served honorably in the United States Armed Forces—both living and deceased, and in times of war or peace.

Historical Note: Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day to commemorate the armistice of November 11, 1918, that took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The armistice was a temporary ceasefire; the war officially concluded months later with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation on June 1, 1954, officially making November 11th Veterans Day a day to honor veterans of all wars.
