Chrism Mass

Tuesday, March 30 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Each year on Tuesday of Holy Week (with rare exception), the bishop, joined by the priests of the diocese, gather at the Cathedral to celebrate the Chrism Mass. This Mass manifests the unity of the priests with their bishop. The bishop blesses three oils — the oil of catechumens (oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum), the oil of the infirm (oleum infirmorum) and holy chrism (sacrum chrisma) — which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the diocese for the year.

All are welcome to participate via the live stream of Chrism Mass.  In person attendance will be by invitation only due to Covid guidance.
