Red Mass to be celebrated at Cathedral

Tapping into the church’s history of honoring and praying for workers in various professions, the Diocese of Sioux City, Bishop Walker Nickless and the Cathedral of the Epiphany in Sioux City are planning a Red Mass for attorneys, judges, lawmakers and those working in the legal profession.
 
Bishop Nickless will preside at a Nov. 7 Red Mass at 5:30 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Epiphany, which is open to the public. All are invited to a reception in the Epiphany Center afterward.
 
Historically, such liturgies were named Red Masses because the color red represents the Holy Spirit. Depending upon the date selected, red vestments might be worn by celebrating clergy.
