Chrism Mass

 
On Monday April 19 the Chrism Mass was celebrated in the Cathedral of St. Mary in Trenton. The Chrism Mass is when the holy oils that are used in parishes throughout the Diocese are blessed by the Bishop. Bishop O'Connell in his homily spoke about the oils that are blessed at the Mass. Bishop O'Connell also spoke very movingly to the priests of the Diocese about how priestly ministry is rooted in the one Truth of Jesus Christ and His holy Church and how all priestly ministry flows from this one truth. Read his homily here - you can also see some pics from the Mass.
