St. Thomas More Society Atlanta

About St. Thomas More Society Atlanta

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the St. Thomas More Society, Inc. traces its roots to a student association at Emory University Law School and the Dorothy Day Law Society, eventually becoming an independent non-profit organization incorporated in 1994. The Society was founded by a dedicated group of Catholic lawyers who shared a vision of fostering community among legal professionals while serving the Roman Catholic Church of Georgia. Named after Saint Thomas More, the organization embodies the intellectual, spiritual, and moral qualities that defined the saint's life and legacy. What distinguishes the St. Thomas More Society of Atlanta is its commitment to creating a meeting ground where Catholic lawyers can share in the fellowship of the Mass and Eucharist while building meaningful relationships with peers who share their faith and professional calling. The organization recognizes that numerous St. Thomas More Societies operate independently throughout the United States, each serving their local legal communities with similar missions. In Atlanta, the Society has become known for its signature Red Mass, a public celebration that welcomes both Catholic and non-Catholic judges, officials, and legal professionals to participate in a blessing for those who administer justice. Through monthly gatherings, special events, and community engagement, the St. Thomas More Society of Atlanta continues its mission to inspire legal professionals to uphold the highest standards of ethics, morality, and service to their faith and community.
