Chrism Mass
April 5, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Priests of the diocese will gather together on April 5, 2022 at 7:00 PM in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, to renew their priestly promises, their fidelity to the Bishop and to Jesus Christ. The bishop will consecrate the sacred Chrism and bless the oils used in the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders. The holy oils serve as an expression of the Church’s unity, guaranteed by the episcopate, pointing to Christ, the true ‘shepherd and guardian’ of our souls.
- Each parish will have 3 lay representatives to participate and receive the holy oils.
- Limited seating for the public will be available, Cathedral doors will open at 6:20pm.
