Join Bishop Koenig for ‘Red Mass’ October 5 at 4p.m. at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Church

The Red Mass is an ancient tradition that is generally celebrated near the beginning of the judicial year.  It takes its name from the color of the vestments worn by the liturgical presiders to represent tongues of fire symbolizing the Holy Spirit.

The Annual Red Mass will be held October 5 at 4pm, at St. Joseph's on the Brandywine, followed by a reception.
