The annual Chrism Masses will be held at Saint Matthew Cathedral in South Bend on Monday, April 3, at 7:00 p.m.; and at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Fort Wayne on Tuesday, April 4, at 7:00 p.m (Fr Jonathan will be attending the Mass in Ft Wayne). Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades has invited all priests, sisters, brothers, deacons and lay people of the diocese to attend either of these Masses. An interpreter will be present for those who are hearing impaired or deaf. At the Chrism Mass, the Holy Chrism is consecrated and the oil of catechumens and oil of the sick are blessed. This beautiful Mass manifests the communion of the priests with their bishop in the same priesthood and ministry of Christ.
