Chrism Mass

19 March 2008

Bishop Declan celebrated the Chrism Mass this morning (19 March) in Clifton Cathedral.

Over one hundred priests concelebrated the Mass which blesses the oils used throughout the diocese in the coming year.

As usual the congregation was made up of people from throughout Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Our pictures can be seen in the image gallery on the right.  They were taken for cliftondiocese.com by Matt Anscombe who is a student for the priesthood in the Clifton Diocese.  Matt was busy this morning and we have another gallery for you - in our 'News' section.

You can listen to and download audio for today's Mass in the multimedia panel on the right.
