  The non-Abelian gauge model proposed by Jackiw and Pi, which generates an
even-parity mass term in three space-time dimensions, is revisited in this
letter. All the symmetries of the model are collected and established by means
of BRS invariance and Slavnov-Taylor identity. The path for the perturbatively
quantization of the Jackiw-Pi model, through the algebraic method of
renormalization, is presented.
