The Chrism Mass - March 29 at 1pm

During Holy Week Bishop Persico will bless sacred oils at the Chrism Mass. The oil of chrism is used during baptisms, confirmation, ordination and the consecration of altars. The oil of catechumens is used at the Easter Vigil. The oil of the sick is used to anoint people during the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. The oils are then distributed to each parish for sacramental celebrations throughout the year. Priests also renew their promise as Diocesan Priests at the Chrism Mass.

The Mass is not open to the public this year, please watch via the livestream link below.
