On Tuesday, March 31, the priests of the diocese will join Bishop Michael Mulvey at the Cathedral to celebrate the Chrism Mass. This Mass manifests the unity of the priests with their bishop.
The bishop will bless 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.
The faithful are invited to join the celebration of the Mass at 7 p.m.
