Chrism Mass

Tuesday of Holy Week, March 31 at 11 A.M.
Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist
Surrounded by all the Priests who share in his ministry, the Bishop blesses the holy oils to be used in the diocese throughout the year. As the oils are blessed, we recall that we share in the anointing, healing, and ministry that flow from these oils as they are used in the sacraments of faith.
