.................................................To whom it may concern:……………………………………… It has been my pleasure and honor over quite a few years now to offer monthly Masses for the St. Thomas More Society of Santa Clara County. The group is intended to give Catholic lawyers and those who have an interest in faith and ethics and justice an opportunity to communicate, with God and with each other. Part of the purpose of the St. Thomas More Society is to share prayer and the food of companionship as well. The Mass at Santa Clara is on the second Tuesday of the month at 7 am in the Francis Xavier chapel in the back of the Mission Church, with an outside door. Our next Mass will be on the morning of March 10. If you wish to attend, please send me a quick email at pgoda@scu.edu so that enough breakfasts may be ordered. If you wish notifications, the President of the St. Thomas More Society sends out a monthly notice to help remind you. Let me know…. Thank you… Paul J. Goda, S.J. Emeritus Professor of Law School of Law Santa Clara University
