The Red Mass

Since the Middle Ages, the Church has celebrated what has come to be known as the Red Mass for attorneys and judges. This Mass offers an opportunity for those who work in the administration of the legal and justice community to reflect on the God-given power and responsibility of those in the legal and justice community and to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit in their endeavors.

The Red Mass also honors and celebrates those attorneys in our local community who have passed away since our last celebration.

A celebration of this Mass in the Southern Region of the Diocese will be held on Thursday, October 3rd 12:00 pm at St. Patrick’s Church, Binghamton.

Please join Bishop Douglas J. Lucia and other local clergy in this celebration. All who are involved in or wish to support the legal and justice community are welcome to attend.
