The Red Mass and Reception (featuring Justice Robert Clifford)
Friday, September 30, 2011 at 11:00am (to be followed by a reception at 12:15pm)
The Red Mass is a mass celebrated annually at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Franklin Street in Portland for judges, attorneys, law school professors, students, and government officials. The Mass requests guidance for all who seek justice, and offers the opportunity to reflect on what Catholics believe is the God-given power and responsibility of all in the legal profession.  However, PLEASE note, that this service is open to people of ALL faiths and all are encouraged to attend.  The Red Mass is scheduled for Friday, September 30, 2011, at 11:00 am at the Cathedral, with a luncheon to follow immediately at The Portland Country Club (12:15-1:45).  This year's speaker is Justice Robert Clifford, active-retired Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.  Justice Clifford has lived a life of service, whether it be in the army, in Lewiston town government, the legislature, the court system, or his parish.  Cost of attendance is normally $40, but for students the cost has been reduced to $20.  Also, please note that if people do not want to attend the Mass at the church, they are more than welcome to just attend the luncheon/reception at the Portland Country Club.  This is a good opportunity for law students to meet members of Maine's legal community and reflect on how they plan to use their degree to help promote justice. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact Matt Libby at Matthew.K.Libby@maine.edu.  To reserve your seat, please contact Denise Plourde at (207) 791-1210 or by email: dplourde@pierceatwood.com.
