The Saint Vincent College chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS) will be hosting a Gold Mass on Wednesday, January 21st, at 5:00 p.m. in the Saint Vincent Archabbey Basilica.

The main celebrant will be Archabbot Martin de Porres Bartel, O.S.B., of Saint Vincent Archabbey.  Reflections will be offered by Br. Albert Gahr, O.S.B., Ph.D., who is a monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey and an associate professor of biology at Saint Vincent College.

The Gold Masses for Scientists that are sponsored by the SCS follow in the tradition of special Masses that are held for members of a given profession.  By promoting Gold Masses for Scientists around the world, the SCS hopes to create spiritual fellowship among Catholic scientists, science educators, and science students at the local level.

The Gold Mass is part of the Life in Christ Week at Saint Vincent College.  All members of the Saint Vincent community are welcome to attend.
