Chrism Mass

Deacons bringing the oil that Bishop Michael Campbell
blessed during the Chrism Mass 2014

Tomorrow we will celebrate the Mass of Chrism when the oils that will be used for sacraments of initiation in baptism and confirmation, sacrament of service in ordination and sacraments of healing in sacrament of the sick.  This mass is when priests of the diocese gather to renew their vows.  People gather from around the diocese and are reminded that we are all members of God's family, visiting the Mother church of the Diocese, the Cathedral.

Behind the scenes there is a lot of preparation by the cheerful hospitality team who do so much to make visitors welcome at the Cathedral.
