Unions asked to submit deceased members’ names to be included in program
The Greater St. Louis Labor Council will host the 42nd Annual Robert O. Kortkamp Union Prayer Service and Mass honoring our deceased fellow union workers on Sunday, May 1, at the Shrine of St. Joseph, Patron Saint of the Worker, at 11th and Biddle streets in downtown St. Louis.
The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. with an interfaith Workers’ Memorial Prayer Service outside the church to recognize union members who have died on the job or from work-related injury or illness. Clergy of several faiths will participate in the interfaith prayer service.
Mass will follow at 9 a.m. inside the church.
