Priests, deacons, religious and lay faithful from across the Diocese of Trenton will gather with Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., for the Mass of Chrism, regarded as one of the most solemn and significant liturgies in the Church year, to be celebrated April 6 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, 61 Georgia Road, Freehold.
During the Mass, Bishop O’Connell will bless the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of the Catechumens and he will consecrate the Sacred Chrism that will be used in parishes throughout the coming year.
