Chrism Mass with Bishop-Elect Fr. Liam Cary


The Chrism Mass of the Diocese of Baker will be held at 7pm on Thursday, March 29, at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral in Baker City – with an extra added attraction this year.

Fr. Julian Cassar announced at Masses last weekend that Bishop William S. Skylstad will preside at the Mass, and that Bishop-Elect Fr. Liam Cary will be preaching.

The on-line St. Francis de Sales parish bulletin has this announcement:

Chrism Mass – please make every effort to attend the annual Chrism Mass which is held only in the Cathedral, where all the priests gather with Bishop Skylstad for the blessing of the oils which will be used for the administration of sacraments around our Diocese. This year’s Chrism Mass will be held on Thursday March 29, at 7 PM. Bishop-elect Liam Cary will be here and will be preaching… A light reception will be held afterwards, where you can meet the priests, some of whom you may know from other parishes or churches you may have attended in the past.
