Mass in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. will be celebrated
by Bishop Michael F. Burbidge at the Cathedral of St. Thomas More, 3901
Cathedral Ln., Arlington, Jan. 12 at 11 a.m. A reception will follow at Burke
Hall.
“Dr. King courageously persevered in the face of hatred and evil
to stand publicly for civil rights,” said Bishop Burbidge. “He fought so that
all persons, without exception, be treated with the dignity given to them by
God. Dr. King endeavored to end bigotry and prejudice through a message of hope
and love. We thank God for his leadership on civil rights and pray for an end
to the prejudice and bigotry that, sadly, still exist today.”
