The Society wishes to extend a special thank you to all those who attended this year's Red Mass. The event was well attended, and quite enjoyable by all accounts. Special acknowledgement should be given to the Red Mass Committee ... whose efforts were instrumental in the successful execution of the event.
We also thank Fr. Wild, Dean Kearney, and our Faithful Servant Award Recipient, Tom Mountin for their well considered remarks.
If any member has photos of the event that they would like to share, we would be glad to have them. Please contact your webmaster by email.
