Chrism Mass
Join Bishop Tom as he celebrates the Chrism Mass from the Cathedral of Christ the King, Mullingar on Wednesday 13th April at 7pm.
The Mass for the Blessing of Oils is a unique event in the life of the diocese. It is a Mass in which we remember especially the ministry of priests. We give thanks for the service and witness of the priests - diocesan and religious - who minister in this diocese. It is a moment in which priests renew their commitment to the call they have received from the Lord. It is also a moment in which, with the presence of representatives from each parish in the diocese, we celebrate the one faith which unites all of us. We gather as priests and people with our bishop witnessing to the deep life of faith of our diocese and especially the sacramental life which is symbolised in the oils that we will bless and consecrate.
