Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County

The Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County serves the Brooklyn, NY legal community by providing a professional forum for attorneys committed to integrating Catholic values with legal practice. Since its founding in the 1930s, the Guild has established itself as a premier organization where members of the bench and bar gather to discuss contemporary social and legal issues in a congenial and professional environment. The organization's core mission centers on advancing the goals and ideals of Catholic lawyers while upholding the integrity of the law and its fair, compassionate, and just application. The Guild emphasizes the primacy of moral values and justice in the governance and administration of modern society, ensuring that legal professionals maintain ethical standards grounded in Catholic principles. Throughout the year, the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County sponsors multiple events designed to strengthen professional networks and foster meaningful dialogue. These include the prestigious Red Mass, held in collaboration with the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn, which invokes Divine Providence for the upcoming Judicial Term and concludes with a well-attended reception. The organization also hosts the Annual Shrove Tuesday Luncheon at the beginning of the Lenten season and a Christmas Party during the holiday season, preceded by the traditional Nativity dedication ceremony on the lawn of the Supreme Courthouse at 360 Adams Street. The Guild continues to expand its membership and program offerings while maintaining unwavering commitment to its foundational values, principles, and mission of fostering excellence in the legal profession.
