Most Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades, Bishop of Fort Wayne–South Bend, invites you to the Annual Red Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame. First celebrated in France in the 13th Century, this ancient rite annually asks God’s blessing on all those who serve as lawyers, judges, civil government officials, teachers and students of the law and political science. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a reception following the Red Mass this year.
