42nd Annual Kemah, TX Blessing of the Fleet
Kemah, TX
 42nd Annual Blessing of the Fleet Weekend to  Include  Gumbo Cook-Off and Bluegrass Festival
Kemah, Texas - The 42nd Annual Blessing of the Fleet will be held Sunday May 2 at 2:00 p.m. on the Clear Creek Channel along the Kemah Boardwalk. The 'Blessing' will include Shrimp Boats and Pleasure Boats that will be colorfully decorated and will file past the Cadillac Authentic Mexican Restaurant where they will be blessed by the officiating priest and minister.

The main focus on this year's blessing is to bring awareness to the local shrimpers who where directly affected by Hurricane Ike. The celebration goes beyond the beautifully decorated boats; it is and event that also recognizes the importance of the shrimp fishermen and the seafood industry to our local community and economy. Boat owners of all types are invited to enter the parade, decorate their boats and receive a blessing. Sponsorships for the fishing vessels are available. Cash prizes will be given to the top three entries in commercial class and trophies for the pleasure craft, at the Awards Ceremony starting at 4:30 p.m. on theBoardwalk. Although entries will be accepted the day of the event, early registration is appreciated.

A BLESSING FOR THE FISHING, RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL FLEET
Holy Father, creator of the universe,
you have given the seas and the life they contain
for the use and benefit of all.
Protect our fishermen during this fishing season,
and give them a bountiful catch.
Protect all recreational boats and
commercial boats and their Captain
and crews on your waters.


We ask your help, Father,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
in the unity of your Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
