Chrism Mass: Eavesdropping
Today we celebrated the Chrism Mass where all the priests of the Diocese including those working in our Diocese from other countries gathered together to renew their vows of ordination. Below is Bishop Paul Swarbrick speaking to his brother priests and allowing the people (laity) to eavesdrop!

This Mass is very special because the Bishop also blesses the oils that will be used for the sacraments for the coming year. We'll share more of that next week, but for now the Bishop incensing the altar at the start of Mass.
