Gold Mass for Scientists and Engineers

Inspired by a speech by Pope St. John Paul II to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in 1979, and the belief that faith and reason are necessary partners, the Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS) organized the first Gold Mass for Scientists and Engineers in 2016. JPII taught that members of the Church who are active scientists can “provide a much-needed ministry to others struggling to integrate the worlds of science and religion in their own intellectual and spiritual lives.” The Gold Mass is “gold” because that is color of the regalia hood worn by persons graduating with doctoral degrees in science. The 2021 Gold Mass will take place on November 15 at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament celebrated by the Rector, Fr. J.J. Mech.
