Our Diocese in Action! Mass of Chrism
Sacred oils are
used throughout the year for anointing at Baptisms, Confirmations,
Ordinations, and celebrations of the Sacrament of the Sick or the
Dying. These oils are consecrated by the Diocesan Bishop at the Mass
of Chrism during Holy Week each year. The Mass of Chrism
gathers the faithful of the Diocese at their mother church with their
shepherd and highlights the union of his ministry with the faithful.
His ministry is symbolically present when the oils are used in
parishes. At the Mass of Chrism the clergy of the diocese are also
invited to renew their commitment of service and to receive the
prayers and support of the people. The three oils are the oil
of the catechumens used in preparation for Baptism as a sign of
strengthening and for protection, the oil of Chrism used as a sign of
being sealed and set aside for a specific task or ministry, and the
oil of the Sick for healing and restoring.
