Seek Justice – Be a Blessing

“Our dignity as human beings is not found in the accumulation of stuff and things but by being a blessing –– helping people who cross our path in our professional lives and in our personal lives,” said Reverend Brian J. Romanowski, J.C.L., Adjutant Judicial Vicar for the Diocese.

Father Romanowski was the homilist for the 29th Annual Red Mass, celebrated Sunday, September 29th at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Norwich. He went on to say, The rich man in Jesus parable could not save the world but he could’ve helped Lazarus. May all of us see and recognize one another–– that we may extend God‘s loving hand of love, mercy, justice, and service to all those we see, those entrusted to our care. May we be a blessing as God has blessed us."

The Mass is celebrated annually for all members of the legal profession, regardless of religious affiliation, to mark the opening of the judicial year.
