Red Mass Scheduled At Gonzaga

The Gonzaga University Law School invites all judges, lawyers and other members of the legal community to attend the 1995 Red Mass at St. Aloysius Church on the Gonzaga campus on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

A reception will follow from 6-7 p.m. at Cataldo Hall, near the church.

Following the liturgy, Gonzaga Law School graduates, federal Judge Franklin D. Burgess and retired Spokane County Superior Court Judge Harold D. Clarke will be given the 1995 Distinguished Judicial Awards.

The Red Mass first began in 1310 in England during the reign of Edward I. The purpose of the Mass was to mark the beginning of Michaelmas, the fall term of the king’s bench.

The Mass was dubbed the “Red Mass” because the priests wore red robes.
