Diocese of Tucson Chrism Mass

Monday, April 14

2:00 PM

St. Augustine Cathedral

Tucson, AZ

On Monday of Holy Week, it has been the DOT custom to celebrate its Chrism Mass. This year our Apostolic Administrator, Bishop Gerald Kicanas will bless and consecrate the oils that will be used through the year in all of our parishes when children are baptized, people are confirmed, the sick are anointed, a priest is ordained.

It is also the occasion when all our priests renew their commitment as priests in service to the people of the Diocese and our deacons, religious and all the laity join in prayer for our priests. This year's Chrism Mass theme is Heroic Messengers of Hope. That is who Catholics are in a very troubled and divided world. When we gather as Catholics at the table of the Lord we are renewed and refreshed to go out and proclaim Christ’s message of hope.

If you have never attended, consider coming to this annual celebration of our oneness as the People of God.

Divine Mercy Novena

Beginning Friday, April 18

For each of the nine days, our Lord gave Saint Faustina a different intention:

All mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus; the souls who have separated themselves from the Church; the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; the souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained in purgatory; and souls who have become lukewarm.

"I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death." (Diary, 1209).
