In his homily for the annual Chrism Mass, Bishop James P. Powers began by celebrating the large gathering at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Superior. He recalled the feeling of emptiness in the diocesan church two years ago and even last year with greatly reduced numbers under coronavirus restrictions.
In addition to parish representatives, more than 200 Catholic school students attended, as well as Chancery staff, Knights of Columbus Honor Guard and the Diocesan Chorale, who led the music ministry.
“How good it is,” the bishop declared. “It’s the greatest sign of our being one, one body of Christ in the Diocese of Superior.”
He noted that two things would happen during the Chrism Mass that don’t take place at any other Mass – the blessing and consecration of oils that are used to celebrate some of the sacraments as well as the public renewal of priestly service by the clergy.
