Brooklyn lawyers receive blessing at Red Mass
To celebrate the start of a new legal season, the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County and the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn co-sponsored the Red Mass at the Saint James Cathedral-Basilica in Downtown Brooklyn last Thursday.
Nearly 200 lawyers, judges and court employees packed the Church for the non-denominational Mass.
“The Red Mass is a tradition dating back to England,” said Dean Delianites, president of the Columbian Lawyers Association. “It is a time to celebrate the opening of the new judicial term.”
