Chrism Mass 2019 @ St Joseph's Church (Bukit Timah)

► SUBSCRIBE above for all LIVE STREAMS ◄ On Holy Thursday morning, the Archbishop, joined by the priests of the Archdiocese, gather at St Joseph's Church (Bukit Timah) to celebrate the Chrism Mass. This Mass manifests the unity of the priests with their bishop. The Archbishop blesses three oils — the oil of catechumens, the oil of the infirm and holy chrism — which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the Archdiocese for the year. This tradition is rooted in the early Church and was later absorbed into the Holy Thursday evening Mass; and finally reinstituted as a special Mass of the chrism distinct from the evening Mass. Watch the entire mass celebrated by Archbishop William Goh which includes a homily.

"... those who hear or view these broadcasts should be aware that, under normal circumstances, they do not fulfill the obligation of attending Mass. Visual images can represent reality, but they do not actually reproduce it.(177) While it is most praiseworthy that the elderly and the sick participate in Sunday Mass through radio and television, the same cannot be said of those who think that such broadcasts dispense them from going to church and sharing in the eucharistic assembly in the living Church." (57. SACRAMENTUM CARITATIS. Pope BENEDICT XVI)
