2026 Annual Chrism Mass

Celebrated by Bishop David M. O'Connell, C.M., in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral. During the Mass, the Bishop consecrated the Sacred Chrism and blessed the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of the Catechumens - sacred oils used in parishes throughout the coming year. The Chrism Mass is also when the priests of the Diocese formally recommit themselves to their ministry and service.
