The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law invites the legal community to celebrate the 110th Annual Red Mass on Tuesday, September 20, beginning at noon at Ss. Peter & Paul Jesuit Church, 629 East Jefferson Ave. 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 immediately follows the service. For those unable to join in person, a livestream will be available on the Detroit Mercy Law Homepage.
This year’s Red Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Nathaniel Romano, S.J., Assistant Director of Campus Ministry, Marquette University. Wayne County 36th District Court Judge Shannon A. Holmes will lead the Renewal of the Lawyers’ 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.
