A Blessing on the Judicial Year...
The Delaware County Red Mass

October. Members of the Delaware County Bar
Association Celebrate the Red Mass to Invoke
God's Blessing on the Judicial Year.
The Red Mass is a Mass celebrated annually at Nativity
B.V.M. Church in Media, for judges, attorneys, law school
professors, students, and government officials. The Mass
requests guidance from the Holy Spirit for all who seek justice,
and offers the opportunity to reflect on the God-given power
and responsibility of all in the legal profession. The Red Mass
this year featured the St. James High School Alumni Choir
"Blue and Gray Voices" and Principal Celebrant and Homilist,
Most Reverend Michael J. Fitzgerald, Auxiliary Bishop of
Philadelphia.
Bishop Fitzgerald graduated from Temple University in 1970
and Villanova University School of Law in 1973. He attended
St. Charles Borromeo Seminary and was ordained a priest of
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in May of 1980. He was then
assigned as Parochial Vicar at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish
and St. Callistus Parish, both in Philadelphia. He also served
as Judge, Metropolitan Tribunal from 1982 to 1987 while he
resided at Immaculate Conception Parish in Philadelphia. He
received his J.C.L. from Catholic University of American in
1989 and his J.C.D. from Gregorian University in Rome in 1991.
In addition, Bishop Fitzgerald has served as Director of Legal
Services for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Judicial Vicar for
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and Vice-Rector of St. Charles
Borromeo Seminary and was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of
Philadelphia on August 6, 2010.

RED MASS PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION
The Response is "Lord, hear our prayer."
For all members of the legal profession, that God may grant them
wisdom, guidance, and a desire to seek the truth in all things, we
pray to the Lord...
For all judges, that as they put on their robes, God may also
clothe them with discernment, understanding, and a desire for
justice, we pray to the Lord...
For all lawmakers, that God will send His Spirit upon them so
that they may pass laws which are just and protect the rights of
all people, we pray to the Lord...
For members of the Delaware County legal community who are
ill, that God may restore them to good health, we pray to the
Lord...
For all deceased members of the Delaware County Bar
Association, especially Mark E.J. Harding; John Maffei; Jack T.
Ribble, Jr.; and Howard B. Segal, that they enjoy eternal peace,
we pray to the Lord...
