The Catholic Lawyers Guild of the Diocese of Lincoln invites all to the annual “Red Mass” Tuesday, Feb. 13, at 7 a.m. at St Mary Church in downtown Lincoln.
The Red Mass, celebrated by Father Joseph Walsh, will be followed by a complimentary breakfast and presentation by Joe Heschmeyer, Catholic Answers apologist.
Heschmeyer is an apologist with a long history of public speaking who enjoys presenting the truths of the Catholic faith in a lively and humorous way. He has a law degree from Georgetown, a philosophy degree from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis, and a theology degree from the Angelicum in Rome.
The title of his talk, “Spiritual Warfare and Responding to Attacks on the Faith as a Catholic Lawyer” is a reminder for people in every profession of the need to stand strong in the culture and to live the faith in daily life. Participants are encouraged to come hear ideas on how to be a Catholic in the public square and the workplace.
The Catholic Lawyers’ Guild of the Diocese of Lincoln is an association for Catholics in the legal profession, seeking to assist members to integrate their Catholic faith in their professional life, to grow spiritually, and to provide a forum for addressing ethical and spiritual questions related to the legal profession in a practical way.
The public is invited to the Red Mass, to join Catholic Lawyers Guild members and distinguished guests in praying for those in the legal profession: judges, legislators, attorneys, government officials, and law students.
