Catholic Diocese Of St. Petersburg issued the following announcement on Mar. 21.
All are invited to this year’s Chrism Mass, to take place on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, St. Petersburg. Bishop Gregory L. Parkes will consecrate Sacred Chrism, a mixture of oil and balsam, that will be used for anointing during thousands of Baptisms and Confirmations throughout the coming year in local parishes.
The bishop will also bless the Oil of Catechumens that is reserved for adults preparing to be baptized and the Oil of the Sick, that is reserved for those who are seriously ill.
During this Mass, the priests of our diocese, along with Bishop Parkes, will renew their commitment to priestly service. The Chrism Mass is an opportunity for us to experience a renewal and recommitment to God and the Church. If you are unable to attend, we invite you to pray and participate with us by watching the live video stream at www.dosp.org/livestream, www.facebook.com/DioStPete or by listening live on Spirit FM 90.5.
