<span style="color:black">“The Society of Catholic Scientists sponsors Gold Masses for Scientists. This follows in the tradition of special Masses for members of particular professions. The oldest, the Red Mass for lawyers and lawmakers, was introduced in
the 13th century. The first White Mass for health care professionals and Blue Mass for law enforcement personnel were begun in the 1930s. By promoting Gold Masses for Scientists around the world, SCS hopes to create spiritual fellowship among Catholic scientists
and science educators at the local level. The first Gold Mass was held in Boston on November 15, 2016. See <a href="http://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=177861"><span style="color:#954F72">http://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=177861</span></a> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<i><span style="color:black">“Gold Masses are meant to be regional events,</span></i><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="color:black">bringing together Catholics from that region who are or have been involved
with science, including scientists, retired or former scientists, science teachers at any level, science graduate students, undergraduate science majors, and high school students interested in science. (By "science", we mean more generally STEM areas, i.e.
in mathematics, computer science, biomedical research, etc.) Often, the homilist at the mass is a priest or deacon who is a scientist or has some science background, though that is not necessary. In some cases the bishop may agree to preside. After a Gold
Mass there is normally a simple reception where those who attended the Mass can meet and socialize with each other. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>The hope is that these Gold Masses will help foster the development of local communities and
networks of Catholics involved with science.</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Such communities and networks, in turn, may lead to collaborations on various projects, such as study groups and public lectures.” </span><o:p></o:p></p>
