CHRISM MASS CELEBRATED AT ST. GEORGE CATHEDRAL, KOFORIDUA
It is that time of the year again when during the Holy Week, at the various Cathedrals and Basilicas in Dioceses and Archdioceses of the Catholic Church, the celebration of Mass of the Holy Oils, popularly referred to as the Chrism Mass, is organized. These oils are blessed and consecrated to be used for the Sacraments, as demonstration of our communion with the people we serve.
On Tuesday, 12th April, the 2022 version of the Koforidua Diocesan Chrism Mass was colourfully celebrated at the St. George Catholic Cathedral Church, Koforidua, with the Liturgy presided over by the Diocesan Bishop, Most Rev. Joseph Afrifah-Agyekum, and concelebrated by Priests in the Diocese. Also at the celebration were some Religious Brothers and Sisters, delegates from each parish and outstations, health professionals and institutions as well as parishioners from the Cathedral.
In addressing the congregation, the Bishop, reflecting from the First Reading recalls Isaiah’s exhortation that the Lord has anointed us. "Each one of us has been anointed in Baptism, some of us deepened that commitment in our anointing at Ordination.
