DESCRIPTION:A Chrism Mass for the the Society of Wilfred & Hilda parishes 
 in the Diocese of Leeds with the Rt Revd Stephen Race\, Bishop of Beverley
 .\n\nService includes the blessing of the three oils — the oil of catech
 umens\, the oil of the infirm and holy chrism — which will be used in th
 e administration of the sacraments throughout the coming year.\n\nDuring t
 his mass\, the priests\, deacons\, and people gather around their Bishop\,
  who blesses the Holy Oils for use in the coming year. These are: the Oil 
 of the Sick\, the Oil of Catechumens & the Oil of Chrism. These oils are u
 sed in Baptism\, Confirmation and Ordination as well as for Anointing of t
 he Sick. Whenever the Holy Oils are used over the year the ministry of the
  Bishop\, who consecrated them\, is symbolically present.\n\nThe Chrism Ma
 ss reminds us of our oneness in Christ through Baptism and holy anointing\
 , made possible by the ministry of the Bishop and his priests. The Chrism 
 Mass is also the unity of the Bishop with his priests and people with the 
 wider Church. During the liturgy\, deacons and priests renew their vow of 
 obedience to their Bishop and their commitment to serve God’s people. At
  the end of the Chrism Mass\, the Holy Oils are brought back to parishes o
 f the See for use in the coming year.
