CHRISM MASS |
| |
Bishop Peter says
"The blessing of the
Holy Oils at this Mass illustrates vividly who we
are and what we are called to be and to do. At the
Easter Vigil the newly blessed oils will be used for
the first time in the initiation of new members of
the Church as they are anointed with the Oil of
Catechumens in preparation for Baptism and sealed
with the Oil of Chrism and the gift of the Holy
Spirit in Confirmation.
They will become a new
creation, salt and light to the earth.
What brings
about that new creation, what gives taste and light
in our lives and our relationships is Jesus, who is
love, and that love reflected in our love for one
another." |

| Following the Chrism Mass in the
Cathedral the Holy Family team had a
quick picnic in Cathedral garden before
driving back. |

There was a full church of parishioners and
children at Holy Family on Good Friday morning
to participate in the Children’s Service.
The children acted out scenes from the passion
and had a procession around the church. |
|
The congregation were invited to come forward and
kiss the cross. |
|
At the end of the service everyone was offered a
specially baked hot cross bun |
