What happens at a Chrism Mass? ✝️ Chrism Mass is celebrated at cathedrals during Holy Week. Earlier this week, clergy and licensed lay leaders gathered at Manchester Cathedral to share the Eucharist and renew their vows and commitments. A key part of the service is the blessing of sacred oils, which will be used over the next year to anoint for healing and to anoint the baptised, the confirmed, and the ordained. Following the service, the oils were distributed to each parish. | The Church of Eng
