Red Mass

2019 Red Mass and Reception

This year's Red Mass was held on Thursday, October 24, at Saint Joseph Cathedral in Manchester. This annual event is organized by the Catholic Lawyers Guild of New Hampshire, during which members of judicial, legal, law enforcement, and legislative communities gather with those who administer law in the Church for an evening of prayer. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Peter A. Libasci.

Following the Red Mass, the Guild held a reception at Bishop Bradley Hall at the Cathedral at which the Guild honored Attorney Diane Murphy Quinlan, recipient of the Saint Thomas More Award.
