General Announcements

St. Thomas More Society’s annual Red Mass is Oct. 3

The St. Thomas More Society, an ­organization of Catholic lawyers, judges and law students in the Archdiocese of ­Indianapolis, will host its annual Red Mass at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 at St. John the Evangelist Church, 126 W. Georgia St., in Indianapolis.
Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, auxiliary bishop and vicar general, is scheduled to be the principal celebrant.
According to a press release issued by the society, celebrating a Red Mass for legal professionals at the beginning of a court term is a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages.
It is called a Red Mass because the Holy Spirit, which is symbolized by red vestments, is invoked to guide those ­participating in the Mass in their work in the legal system.
After the Red Mass, the society will host a dinner to honor the “Man or Woman for All Seasons,” so named for the play and movie about the life of St. Thomas More.
This year’s honoree is Abigail Kuzma, director and chief counsel of the Consumer Protection Division for the Indiana Attorney General.
Kuzma co-founded and served as
long-time executive director of the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, a faith-based, non-profit corporation providing legal representation to
low-income families in central Indiana.
Dinner tickets are $40, and table sponsorships are available.
For more information about the Red Mass or to purchase tickets for the dinner, call the St. Thomas More Society’s president, Judge David Certo, at 317-331-3669 or send an e-mail to davidcerto@yahoo.com.
