On 13 February, we were given the privilege of attending the inaugural Red Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta.
This mass is held at the beginning of the law year, as a way of offering thanksgiving for all those who serve the law. It is also an opportunity for members of the judiciary, as well as lawyers and public service officials to reaffirm a commitment to justice and faith. During this mass, red vestments are worn by the celebrants to signify the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Following the mass, we had the opportunity to talk to a number of the guests over refreshments, including our local member, Julia Finn.

St Peter Chanel, the first martyr of the Society of Mary and Oceania. Ordained in 1827, he was known for his deep sincerity and holiness. He joined the Marists in 1831 and became a missionary to Oceania, where his words inspired and turned many locals to God. Tragically, he was martyred on April the 28th, 1841. Canonised in 1954, his feast day is now celebrated each year on the 28th of April. Together we pray: St Peter Chanel, you left your homeland to proclaim Jesus, Saviour of the world, to the peoples of Oceania. Guided by the Spirit of God, who is the strength of the gentle, you bore witness to love, even laying down your life. Grant that, like you, we may live our daily life in peace, in joy, and in fraternal love. May your prayer and example call forth from our midst many workers for the Gospel so that God’s Kingdom may reach to the ends of the earth. Amen.
