I attended our diocese’s Chrism Mass today. I don’t think I have ever been to one before. It was 2 hours long, and quite the event. I’ve never seen that many people in the Cathedral before. The singing was amazing, and we have a wonderful bishop.
Our Chrism Mass was last night in Portland. Wow! Fantastic music, I would say close to 200 priests, the Re-Commitment Ceremony for the priests was soo moving.
And of course, the presentation of the Holy Oils.
A great Mass. Our Archbishop said the Mass and Assistant Bishop assisted. A number of deacons also were present. (As well as a lot of young seminarians!)
Wow!
