Red Mass to honor legal profession
By Denver Catholic Register
The Denver Archdiocese’s annual Red Mass is set for 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 26 at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. All judges, lawyers and law professionals are invited to attend.
Auxiliary Bishop James D. Conley will celebrate the Mass, organized by the Office of Liturgy. Judges are invited to vest in their judicial robes and participate in the entrance procession of the Mass. Judges are asked to register with the Office of Liturgy at 303-715-3156 or by e-mailing John.Miller@archden.org.
The origin of the Red Mass can be traced back to the year 1243 when the first Mass was said by Pope Innocent IV for the Ecclesial Court. The liturgy asks the invocation of the Holy Spirit as a source of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude and strength for the coming term of the court.
