The Chrism Mass was held March 22, 2016 at the Cathedral of St. Joseph the Workman, where priests from across the Diocese joined Bishop Callahan for the blessing of holy oils they will use in their own parishes during the coming year. Chrism is a mixture of olive oil and balsam fragrant extracts that is consecrated by a bishop to be used in the administration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders.
