WASHINGTON, DC — “Perhaps if more of us directed our thoughts in the ways of peace, we would discover and develop a more civil society and learn to live in harmony with our neighbors.” His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, USA, preached that message to prominent legal professionals including U.S. Supreme Court Justices, Vice-President JD Vance, and others at the annual Red Mass on Sunday at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle in the Nation’s Capital.

Archbishop Broglio has issued a letter to Catholic voters in Virginia, expressing solidarity with that state’s two Catholic bishops over three proposed state constitutional amendments.

“It’s always a highlight of the year for me to come here,” said the Reverend Mr. Paul Keenan, “It’s what keeps us feeling connected to the AMS and what gives us a sense of community with one another as seminarians.”

In his homily, Archbishop said that Father Capodanno “gave his life for others and we are inspired and try to learn how to be for others in the midst of a world too often mired in the swamp of selfishness and worship at the altar of me.”
