The Chrism Mass reflects the communion of the priests with their bishop. All of the priests of the Diocese who are gathered publicly renew their commitment to their priestly service. The Mass is also when the Bishop blesses the oils to be used in parishes throughout the coming year – the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of Catechumens – and he also consecrates the Sacred Chrism, which is used for the Sacraments of Confirmation, Baptism, the Ordination of priests and bishops and the Consecration of churches.
