The Chrism Mass for the blessing of sacramental oils at the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan is on Tuesday, April 4, at 6:30 pm. All priests ministering in the Diocese of Brownsville will renew their priestly promise before Bishop Daniel Flores as the whole Church celebrates their institution of Christian Priesthood.
A mixture of oil, balsam, or balm, used for liturgical Anointing – for Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders, the blessing of an altar and in former days the coronation of kings. Its symbolism is both royal and priestly, therefore fitting for both the royal and priesthood of all Christians and the Hierarchical priesthood of Orders.
