The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago would like to invite all lawyers, judges, and law professionals to the 91st Annual Votive Red Mass of the Holy Spirit, traditionally known as the Red Mass. The Red Mass has been celebrated annually in churches throughout the world since the twelfth century. It brings together members of the community from all faith traditions to pray for all those responsible for the administration of justice.

During the reception, the Catholic Lawyers Guild will honor this year’s distinguished recipient of the Catholic Lawyer of the Year Award. This year’s honoree is His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. We are especially proud to recognize Pope Leo XIV not only for his service as a canon lawyer but also for his historic election to the papacy and his exceptional commitment to justice, compassion, and leadership within the Catholic tradition. His connection to Chicago and the Americas further highlights the significance of this honor.
