About This Event

Originally held in 1310, Red Mass marked the beginning of the Michaelmas (fall term) of the King’s Bench during the reign of Edward of England. It was an occasion of pageantry and solemnity as judges, barristers and members of Parliament gathered to invoke God’s blessing and guidance for themselves and their profession. 

We invite you to celebrate this year's Red Mass of the Legal Profession with us on Thursday, October 7 at 5:30 PM in St. Aloysius Church. All are welcome to join us for an occasion of prayerful petition and thanksgiving, regardless of religious affiliation, with a special invitation to our entering 1L class and our Carl Maxey Social Justice Scholars. A reception is to follow at Cataldo Hall. 

If you wish to submit a name for the Prayers of the Faithful portion of the mass, please email Bryn Boorman at boorman @gonzaga.edu before Sept. 24, 2021.
