St. Thomas More Society Invites the Entire Legal Community to the Annual Red Mass & Reception Dinner
HOLY FAMILY CATHEDRAL IN ORANGE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2009 EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION AT 6:00 P.M. The Red Mass is a Eucharistic celebration of the role of the law in God's plan. In 1245, the first Red Mass was celebrated in the La Sainte Chapelle, Paris honoring St Ives, the patron saint of lawyers. In 1310, the Red Mass was celebrated in England with the Bench and Bar in attendance at the opening of the Court term. The celebration is known as the Red Mass because the priest and judges wore red robes. The tradition has continued in the United States with members of the US Supreme Court joining the resident and members of Congress each year at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington. The Red Mass is also celebrated in numerous cities around the world. For more information visit: www.stthomasmore.netTO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESSION, JURISTS SHOULD CONTACT HON. WM MONROE OR HON.
