Celebration of Archdiocesan
Chrism Mass
​on Tuesday, April 7, 2020

After consulting with diocesan leaders and in consideration of recent guidance published by the Holy See, I have decided that the celebration of the Chrism Mass will still take place on Tuesday, April 7, albeit at an earlier time since we cannot yet anticipate the ability to open the church to the public. At 10:00 AM I will come to the Co-Cathedral with Bishop Sheltz to privately celebrate the Chrism Mass. I would ask my brother priests to take the time to participate with us in prayer remotely, especially taking the opportunity to prayerfully meditate and renew their priestly vows. Please be assured of my prayers for all of our priests as well. Since under current public guidelines the priests and faithful of the Archdiocese are not able to congregate and will therefore not be able to take part in the Mass from the Cathedral church, we will plan to livestream the Chrism Mass through the Archdiocesan website (www.archgh.org) and social media channels for those who wish to join in prayer at that time.
