About the Society
The Society is a charitable organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is led by a Board of Directors appointed by the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas. Its purpose is to encourage Catholic lawyers within the diocese of Dallas to live a Christian vocation by sanctifying their daily work.
The goals of the Society, which were adopted by the Directors on June 22, 2010, are:
- to stimulate the practice of Christian precepts in the formulation and administration of the law;
- to be a source of fellowship for our members and other lawyers in the diocese;
- to promote and foster high ethical principals in the legal profession generally and, in particular, in the community of Catholic lawyers, as exemplified by the life of St. Thomas More;
- to encourage the study of the life and writings of St. Thomas More;
- to promote the study of the Natural Law and its application to the legal profession;
- to sponsor the annual Red Mass; and
- to encourage interfaith understanding and brotherhood.
Together, we ask God to bless, strengthen, and enlighten all servants of the law, and all people of faith, so that in solidarity and mutual trust we may achieve justice and freedom for society.
