CHRISM MASS

The Chrism Mass for the Holy Week celebration of the Vicariate of BonLag was held at the Sta. Rita Cathedral on 19 April 2011. Stressing on the value of priesthood and priestly communion, Bishop Rudy exhorted the importance of renewing the priestly promises made by every priest on his ordination day. This was in line with the announcement of new assignments of priests who were having their general reassignments this year (see separate news).

For the first time, the celebration included the re-commissioning of the lay ministers of the Eucharist of this local Church who also had their turn in renewing their commitment. On the eve of this occasion, Fr. Edgardo Abano gave a recollection talk attended by the Lay Ministers and priests of the Vicariate.

In the same mass, the Chrism Oil was consecrated and the Oil for the Annointing of the Sick blessed, as tradition of the Church dictates.

Except for Fr. Jimmy Aydinan, all the priests of the Vicariate including the religious priests and nuns were present in the affair. Am early lunch tendered by Bontoc Catholic Mission capped the morning.
