To mark the start of the new judicial year and the opening of the courts in Montreal, which this year is under the theme Benevolence at the heart of justice, the Société Saint-Yves de Montréal is preparing the traditional Red Mass to be held on Thursday, September 4 at 8:30 a.m. This year, the Mass will be celebrated in the magnificent Chapelle du Sacré-Coeur of the Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal by Mgr Christian Lépine.

The Red Mass is a privileged moment of reflection at the dawn of the new judicial year, bringing together lawyers, notaries, judges and court officers of all religious persuasions.

In this Jubilee Year, participants in the Montreal Red Mass will be in heartfelt communion with justice officials around the world who will be taking part in the Jubilee of those who promote and defend Justice, to be held in Rome on September 20.
