All are welcome to join us via livestream on Sunday, October 6 at 9:00 a.m. for the 72nd Annual Red Mass.

His Eminence Wilton Cardinal Gregory will be the Principal Celebrant, and our Deacon Darryl Kelley (an attorney, former MD legislator, and former deputy U.S. Marshal) will be the Homilist for this annual Mass.

The Red Mass invokes God’s blessings and guidance in the administration of justice under the power of the Holy Spirit and is a tradition that dates back many centuries to Rome, Paris, and London. The name comes from the color of the vestments worn by the celebrants and the color of fire, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated annually at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, traditionally on the Sunday before the first Monday in October, which marks the opening of the Supreme Court’s annual term.

This Mass is the work of the John Carroll Society.

 

 


Todos están invitados a conectarse a la transmisión en vivo de la 72.ª Misa Roja Anual a celebrarse el domingo 6 de octubre a las 9:00 a.m.

Su Eminencia el cardenal Wilton Gregory será el celebrante principal, y nuestro diácono Darryl Kelley (abogado, ex legislador de Maryland y ex oficial del cuerpo U.S. Marshal) será el homilista de esta tradicional Eucaristía.

La Misa Roja invoca las bendiciones y la guía de Dios en la administración de justicia bajo el poder del Espíritu Santo y es una tradición que se remonta a muchos siglos en Roma, París y Londres. El nombre proviene del color de las vestimentas que usan los celebrantes y del color del fuego, símbolo del Espíritu Santo. Se celebra anualmente en la Catedral de San Mateo Apóstol, tradicionalmente el domingo anterior al primer lunes de octubre, que marca la apertura del período anual de la Corte Suprema.

Esta misa es organizada por la sociedad John Carroll.
