“The Chrism Mass is a time of profound unity and renewal for our diocesan family. During this Liturgy, we come together to pray for our priests, who will renew their sacred ordination promises, and to bless the holy oils that will be used in the Sacraments throughout the year.”

Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., in his letter of invitation to the Chrism Mass

The Diocese of Fall River celebrated the Chrism Mass, the traditional Holy Week liturgy that includes the blessing of holy oils and the renewal of priestly promises, on Tuesday, April 15, in St. Mary’s Cathedral. A selection of photos from the Mass is featured below.
