Mass of Chrism
March 27, 2021
A heart filled with love has no room for hate.
Members of our parish are invited to join with Bishop Denis Nulty, Apostolic Administrator, and the priests of our diocese for the annual Mass of Chrism at 7.30pm on Wednesday, 31st March. While the Chrism Mass will be celebrated behind closed doors at St. Mary’s Cathedral the celebration will be available online at www.stmaryscathedral.ie. During the Mass the priests of the diocese will renew their vows and the holy oils for use at Baptisms, Confirmations, the Anointings of the Sick and Ordinations will be blessed. The Sacred Chrism for use at the ordination of our anticipated new bishop will be consecrated.
Forty-two candles representing the prayers and petitions of parishioners in each parish in the diocese will be lit during the Mass and later returned with the Sacred Oils for use in the local community. Please join with us in this important diocesan celebration.
