Event Details - Red Mass

The St. Mary's School of Law and the Catholic Lawyers' Guild of San Antonio invite members of the legal community from all faiths to the Annual Red Mass at San Fernando Cathedral, 115 Main Plaza, San Antonio, TX 78205. The Most Rev. Gustavo Garcia-Siller, MSpS of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, will be the principal celebrant and homilist. The custom of a special mass for the judicial community arose in France, England and Italy in the early 13th century to mark the opening of the courts of law and to ask guidance for all who seek justice. It became known as Red Mass from the color of the priests' vestments and judges' robes. This tradition continues today in San Antonio as a time for members of the legal community of all faiths to come together for the cause of justice.
