March 18 update on Chrism Mass

The Chrism Mass will still be celebrated in the Cathedral as scheduled on April 2, 2020 at 7pm. However, in light of the shelter-in-place order in effect for the Bay Area, the Chrism Mass will NOT be open to the public and only a limited number of clergy will participate.

The public may participate in the Chrism Mass via livestream through the Cathedral of Christ the Light’s Facebook page facebook.com/ctlcathedral.org

The Day of Recollection for priests, including the associated dinner and Holy Hour, are also canceled. All parishes are asked to maintain their existing stock of Holy Oils.

This notice supersedes all former instructions regarding the Chrism Mass. More information, regarding the protocols for the oils and the Sacred Chrism, will be posted shortly through the Chrism Mass 2020 landing page at ctlcathedral.org/chrism2020
