Chrism Mass 2021

The Mass of Chrism takes place in the Cathedral on Thursday 21 October 2021 at 7:00pm.

Celebrated by Bishop Brendan Kelly and all the priests of the diocese, the centrepiece of this annual occasion is the blessing of the three holy oils for sacramental use during the year: the Oil of the Sick, the Oil of catechumens, and Chrism.

Traditionally, this mass is celebrated on the morning of Holy Thursday; this year, however, because of Covid-19 it was postponed until October.
