Friday Sept 21 at Noon, celebrated for lawyers, judges, police

This is Ron Yengich replying to your e-mail. Red Mass is celebrated for lawyers, judges, policeI would like to invite any and all to the annual Red Mass for Justice at the Cathedral of the Madeline this friday Sept 21 at Noon. This invitation for all Catholics and non-Catholics. We have participation of people of all faiths in this 1 hour Mass with a reception that follows to honor police officers, lawyers and judges.Bishop Wester presides and the children's choir sings. This is an ecumenical service in a sense and we keep it to an hour because Friday is a work day. We would love to see you and any of our "Italiani" there. Church leaders celebrate the Red Mass, a centuries-old ceremony that is intended for all members of the legal profession and justice system — judges, attorneys, police officers, law professors and students. The "red" refers to the color of the vestments worn by the bishops and, traditionally, the judges who attend. Friday Sept 21 at Noon.331 E East South Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84111(801) 328-8941 Thank YouRon YengichDefense Attorney http://www.utcotm.org/ A Red Mass is a Mass celebrated annually in the Catholic Church for judges, attorneys, law school professors, students and government officials. The Mass requests guidance from the Holy Spirit 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. Originating in Europe during the high Middle Ages, the Red Mass is named for the red vestments traditionally worn in symbolism of the tongues of fire that descended on the Apostles. Additionally, Judges of the High Court of England and all doctors of law wore red robes or academic hoods. The first recorded Red Mass was celebrated in the Cathedral of Paris in 1245. From there, it spread to most European countries. Around 1310, during the reign of Edward II, the tradition began in England. It was attended at the opening of each term of Court by all members of the bench and bar. The tradition was introduced into the United States in 1928 at the Church of St. Andrew, New York City, near the courthouses of Foley Square, celebrated by Patrick Cardinal Haves, who strongly advocated the legal community’s part in evangelization. “I called a group of lawyers together, and I spoke to Judge Kim Hornack and Narda Beas-Nordell, a prosecutor, and they thought having a Red Mass was a good idea,” said Yengich. “After the Mass, Bishop Wester talked to me about starting a St. Thomas More Society,” said Yengich. St. Thomas More was born the son of a judge in London in 1478. Influenced by his father, he became a lawyer and served in King Henry VIII’s court. “So this year we have put together a group of ecumenical lawyers who are interested in justice from a moral, ethical and religious perspective. With the bishop’s blessing, we have formed a St. Thomas More Society for lawyers, judges and police officers, and also people who work in the criminal justice system such as clerks, secretaries, and administrative assistants. We have incorporated the St. Thomas More Society, which was approved by the diocese. We have been meetings and our primary goal is simply to have the Red Mass every year and also to have a lecture series.“We are going to have Catholic, Buddhist, Jewish, and Mormon jurists or lawyers form a panel and have a discussion for which people can get continuing legal education credits. We will do this annually in conjunction with the Red Mass. “There have been a lot of people involved in planning these events,” said Yengich. “We have had a lot of good response from prosecutors, judges, court staff, and from people who are staff for lawyers. At the bishop’s request, although this is a Catholic Mass, the Mass and the St. Thomas More Society are open to everyone, even those without faith. “The Red Mass is a way to put a religious and moral face on what we as lawyers and judges do,” said Yengich. “It is a way to maybe make us all think a little bit deeper about the issues we confront in the system of justice, and hopefully make us better at what we do and more receptive to the problems that each of us face in the system of justice whether we work in it or whether we are people that find ourselves immersed in it.” By Christine Young Intermountain Catholic Those in the criminal justice system come together to support one another through prayer

Maschero Present the Free Lecture Series Instructor Alessandro Galvani Torino our Sister City In 2002, Torino, Italy and Salt Lake City worked to forge a relationship between the two cities. Conversations included the former Vice Consul, Dr. Giovanni Maschero, former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, and former Mayor of Torino, Sergio Chiamparino, each seeing opportunities in cultural exchange with the relationship. In October of 2003, the cities established a Friendship City relationship, and in January 2007, Mayor Anderson official signed the documents for establishment of the Sister City relationship. Torino is located in northwest Italy, with a population of approximately 900,000. The city is recognized for being a major European political centre, being Italy's first capital city in 1861 and being home to the House of Savoy Italy's royal family. Even though much of its political significance and importance had been lost by World War II, it became a major European crossroad for industry, commerce and trade, and currently is one of Italy's main industrial centres, being part of the famous "industrial triangle", along with Milan and Genoa. Turin is ranked third in Italy, after Rome and Milan, for economic strength. Turin is well known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, the football teams Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C., the headquarters of automobile manufacturers FIAT, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, Several International Space Station-modules, such as Harmony and Columbus, were also manufactured in Turin. The U.S. sister city program originated in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as a people-to-people, citizen diplomacy initiative. Originally a part of the National League of Cities, Sister Cities International became a separate, nonprofit corporation in 1967, due to the tremendous growth and popularity of the U.S. program. Mission and goals The organization's mission is to "promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation — one individual, one community at a time." Sister Cities International’s stated goals are to: · Develop municipal partnerships between U.S. cities, counties, and states and similar jurisdictions in other nations. · Provide opportunities for city officials and citizens to experience and explore other cultures through long-term community partnerships. · Create an atmosphere in which economic and community development can be implemented and strengthened. · Stimulate environments through which communities will creatively learn, work, and solve problems together through reciprocal cultural, educational, municipal, business, professional and technical exchanges and projects. · Collaborate with organizations in the United States and other countries which share similar goals For additional information on the Torino relationship, please contact: M.
