Chrism Mass

Chrism Mass will be celebrated on April 12 at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral at 7:30 pm. All the faithful are invited to this Mass that Archbishop Christian Lépine concelebrates with priests from all over the archdiocese, and during which he consecrates the holy chrism and blesses the other oils. This celebration, which is unlike any other, is considered one of the major expressions of the fullness of the bishop's priesthood and a sign of the strong unity between him and the priests.
