Please consider attending the First Friday Mass at Marquette University Law School in the Chapel of St. Edmund Campion on the 4th floor of Eckstein Hall at 7:30 A.M. on Friday February 4, 2022. Fr. Paul Hartmann will preside. Following the Mass, the speaker will be Mary Ellen Markowski, President of The Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) The Catholic Community Foundation. Her appearance has been arranged by one of the members of our Board of Governors and former President, Mark Andres of Davis Kuelthau. Mark is also a board member at CCF.
Notwithstanding recent Omicron concerns, arrangements at the law school will be as they have been for the past several months. Parking is available for free in the structure underneath Eckstein Hall accessed from 11th Street just south of Wisconsin Avenue. Take a ticket from the gate as you enter. For contact tracing to be possible, the Law School will have a sign-in sheet for attendees of the Mass to complete when they arrive at the reception desk to receive their parking validation and to be let through the turnstiles. Also, while the building is normally locked and only accessible to those with an MUID card (with signs on exterior doors indicating this), for the First Friday Mass, the exterior doors will be unlocked from 7 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., so attendees can enter without an MUID card. This will include the entrance from the parking structure. Anyone arriving after 7:45 A.M. will not be able to get into the building. Masks are required when in the building. If someone arrives without a mask, the Law School will provide one for them to wear. Following the Mass, the gathering and presentation will be in conference room 433A. Typically, the presentation lasts a bit less than an hour after some social time and introductions.
There is more to come on additional February events, but please note the following dates. There will be a social event with Marquette Law Students at the Wisconsin Club on February 9th and our Annual Meeting will take place on February 15th, starting with Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist followed by the meeting at Flannery’s on Wells at Jefferson St. (425 E. Wells).
