The Chrism Mass is one of the most solemn and important annual liturgies for the diocesan church. This is the Mass during which the priests of the diocese renew their priestly promises, and Bishop Vásquez consecrates the Sacred Chrism and blesses the Oil of the Catechumens and the Oil of the Sick – which will be used at diocesan parishes for the next year.
Bishop Vásquez celebrates the Chrism Mass at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 4 at St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Austin.
