Chrism Mass at the Cathedral

Posted

Cardinal Dolan celebrated the Chrism Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Tuesday of Holy Week, March 31. During the Chrism Mass, the archbishop is joined by priests of the archdiocese and blesses the holy oils used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the archdiocese during the year. The Chrism Mass is traditionally celebrated during Holy Week, which includes the final days of Lent, the 40-day penitential season observed in preparation for the celebration of Easter.
