Bishop Joseph M. Siegel will celebrate the Diocese of Evansville’s White Mass for healthcare professionals and caregivers at 10 a.m. Oct. 21, at St. Mary Chapel on Ascension St. Vincent’s campus in Evansville.
The White Mass is celebrated annually on or near the Oct. 18 Feast of St. Luke, patron of healthcare professionals. The White Mass dates back to the development of the National Catholic Medical Association in the 1930s. St. Luke was originally a physician from Syria but became a companion of St. Paul. The White Mass is named for the white lab coats often worn by people in the healing profession of medicine, and it honors all people working in a healthcare-related field, volunteers, patients and families.
All healthcare professionals are invited to attend!
