Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 10:00am
The 60th Annual Red Mass will be held at the Cathedral on Sunday, September 30 at 10:00 a.m., with Cardinal Donald Wuerl as celebrant and the Most Rev. Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, as homilist. The John Carroll Society hosts the Red Mass for its members and guests, including many government officials with attendant security. It is open to the public, but attendance is very high. . .
If you plan to attend the Red Mass, please arrive early as the fire marshal will not allow entry once the Cathedral is filled to capacity. Thank you for helping us extend the Cathedral’s hospitality to the John Carroll Society for this celebration.

Politico dot-com covered the MASS this way --
An American archbishop has reminded a congregation that included six Supreme Court justices Sunday to be open to the spirit of God, beg for his blessings and “strive to be instruments of a new evangelization.”
The Archdiocese of Washington said Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Elena Kagan, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Stephen Breyer were at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle for Red Mass in Washington, where they celebrated the Sunday before the Supreme Court begins its new term.
The Most Rev. Timothy Broglio, archbishop for the military services, said the Mass was also “a moment to pause and pray for those who serve our country and foster justice for all.”
The John Carroll Society, a group of Roman Catholic Washington professionals, has organized the Red Mass at the cathedral since 1953.
