White Mass for Catholic Medical Professionals
Event description
Perth's first "White Mass" for Catholic Medical Professionals (Doctors, Nurses and Allied Health), followed by the Blessing of the Hands, will be held on Saturday 18th of May at 1pm. The event is being hosted by St John of God Subiaco in their hospital chapel, located near the front entry of the hospital.
The celebrant for the event is Fr Adalbert Imperial OCD- who before he entered the seminary was a doctor.
The White Mass is a 100-year-old tradition, based on the much older 'Red Mass' for Lawyers and Politicians, which along with the Blessing of the Hands bring the Catholic Medical community together in prayer and fellowship. Booking tickets for the event is essential as there is a max capacity of 95 in the chapel, and as there is no room in the hospital to socialize after the event, ticketholders will receive details about a social after function.
This event is being brought to you by the Western Australian branch of the Australian Catholic Medical Association (ACMA www.catholicmedicine.org) and the Knights of the Southern Cross WA (https://wa.ksca.org.au).
