Catholic Lawyers’ holiday tradition bigger than ever
A tradition that goes back more than 20 years was continued last Thursday as the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Kings County (CLG) met in front of the Brooklyn Supreme Court around the crèche to pray, sing hymns and spread holiday cheer.
“I’m blown away by the fellowship, the turnout and the warmth from our spiritual community,” said Hon. Lizette Colon, president of the CLG. “I have to say that because our brothers and sisters from the Muslim faith and the Jewish faith were also there with us.
“Celebrating the birth of Christ is the seminal reason we exist, so it is important to us to keep this tradition alive and share it with as many people as we can,” Judge Colon continued. “Our hope is that we can all live the path that Jesus taught us. We have a lot of positive energy here.”
