We're not just lawyers. We're Catholic lawyers. Law is our calling, and we bear faithful witness to the Catholic faith in the practice of law.
The Society's Prayer
O Mother of Good Counsel, intercede for us that the members of our Society might courageously and publicly live the Catholic faith ever more fully as we pursue justice, with charity, for those whom your Son has entrusted to us. Call upon the holy angels to shield us from the temptations and sins common to our profession. And ask your Son to bless our work, so that we may remain good and faithful servants of the law, but always servants of God first. AMEN.
Faith in Action
For even as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. James 2:26

We shared the Gospel and First Amendment jurisprudence with the Michigan Supreme Court while respectfully opposing a personal pronouns rule. See "WHO WE ARE" for more information and links to the Society's statements.
