Red Mass
Seattle Archbishop Alexander Brunett, pictured here with Father Sundborg, presided over the recent Red Mass honoring members of the legal profession at the Chapel of St. Ignatius. The Red Mass is a longstanding tradition—dating back to 14th century England—that was attended by lawyers and judges before the opening of each court term. Today the Mass serves as an opportunity to reflect on the role and responsibility of those who practice law.
