Chrism Mass

              On Monday March 17th Bishop

           Paul Bootkoski will celebrate the Chrism 

          Mass with the priests of the diocese.  At this

        Mass, the Bishop will bless the Holy Oils 

      which each parish receives for the rites of         

        anointing.  Saint Ambrose [340-397] began

           This custom - which we now call the Chrism

            Mass - in his Cathedral in Milan.  These Holy

         Oils, which are used to sanctify the Faithful,

           have been channels of holiness for centuries!

     

           The Oil of Catechumens is used to anoint the chest of infants and hands of adults before

their Baptism.

           The Oil of the sick is used on the forehead and hands of the infirm in the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.. 

           Sacred Chrism is used to anoint the head of the newly baptized, the foreheads of confirmandi, the hands of a priest at his ordination, the head of a Bishop at his ordination, and the altar walls of new churches.  These oils are kept in an ambry;  the Latin word armarium means cupboard or chest.  At the Mass, all priests make a Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service, recommitting themselves to their Bishop and to their ministry to God and His People; the Bishop and all Priests then ask the people for pledge of their prayerful support. 

 

All are encouraged to join in the ancient,

 

Chrism Mass at the

Cathedral of St. Francis of

Assisi in Metuchen
