Bishop James F. Checchio will celebrate the Chrism Mass with the priests of the Diocese. At this Mass, the Bishop will bless and consecrate the Holy Oils which each parish receives for the Rites of Initiation and Anointing of the Sick. The Bishop will use the Chrism Oil to anoint the hands of Priests at their ordination and for the Dedication of Churches and Altars. Chrism Oil is also used to anoint the head of a Bishop at his ordination. During the celebration, the Priests will renew their commitment to Priestly service. Please join in this ancient and grace-filled Chrism Mass.
