Archdiocese’s first Gold Mass for scientists to be held on Nov. 15

The archdiocese’s first-ever Gold Mass for those involved in science fields will take place in the Blessed Sacrament chapel of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, at 5:15 p.m. on Nov. 15.

Gold Masses are sponsored by the Society of Catholic Scientists. They are often celebrated on or around Nov. 15, the feast of the patron saint of natural scientists, St. Albert the Great.

The Mass brings together Catholics who are or have been involved with science, including current, retired or former scientists; science teachers at any level; those studying science at the undergraduate and graduate level; and high school students interested in science.

The goal is to foster community among local Catholics involved with science. Such a community could, in turn, lead to collaboration on projects, such as study groups and public lectures, that educate on the connection of faith and science.

Time for fellowship and dinner will follow the Mass.

Registration is not required, although those interested in or planning on attending are asked to indicate their intent on the Facebook event page at bit.ly/2oFTsgA.

For more information on the event, contact Paul Giesting at giesting@alumni.nd.edu or 574-386-1482.

For more information on the Society of Catholic Scientists and the Gold Mass, go to www.catholicscientists.org/events/gold-masses.
