The Chrism Mass is celebrated every year in cathedrals in dioceses all over the world during Holy Week. It is a special liturgy that manifests the unity of the bishop with the priests of his diocese, and the Church community as members of the Body of Christ. During the Mass Bishop da Cunha will bless the holy oils that are used in the sacramental life of the Diocese throughout the year: Oil of Catechumens, Oil of the Sick, and Chrism. Also in the context of the Mass, priests of the Diocese will renew their commitment to service. Concelebrating the Mass with the Bishop will be those priests in the Diocese who this year are observing significant anniversaries of priestly ordination.
All are welcome to attend the Chrism Mass! Please join us.
You can watch a livestream of the Chrism Mass on the Our Lady of Fall River website here
