Law school to conduct Annual Red Mass Sept. 23
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law invites the legal community to celebrate the 113th Annual Red Mass on Tuesday, September 23, beginning at noon at Ss. Peter & Paul Jesuit Church, 438 Saint Antoine in Detroit.
Red Mass is an occasion for judges, attorneys, civic leaders and law students of all faiths to come together and pray for blessings and strength in the coming year's work. A luncheon reception in the atrium at Detroit Mercy Law School immediately follows the service.
This year’s Red Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger, Archdiocese of Detroit. U.S. District Court Judge Shalina D. Kumar, Eastern District of Michigan, will lead the Renewal of the Lawyer’s Oath of Commitment.
Detroit Mercy Law’s annual Red Mass dates back to 1877, when Detroit College, as the university was then known, began its first year with a Mass at Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church. The School of Law continued the tradition when it opened in 1912, again hosting the Red Mass on behalf of the Archdiocese of Detroit at Ss. Peter and Paul through the present.
To register for the September 23 Red Mass, visit https://law.udmercy.edu and scroll down to “Upcoming Events.” Anyone with questions should contact Brittany at dawsonba2@udmercy.edu.
