Chrism Mass: ‘We are God’s holy people’

From The Superior Catholic Herald...
 

The Cathedral of Christ the King in Superior welcomed representatives from almost every parish and Catholic school in the diocese on Tuesday, March 28, for the annual Chrism Mass.

Processing to the opening hymn “Let us Go Rejoicing,” led by the Diocesan Chorale, Bishop James P. Powers entered the sanctuary behind the many priests serving Catholics throughout northwest Wisconsin.

At the beginning of his homily, the bishop addressed Catholic school students, expressing his hopes and prayers that visiting the mother church of the Diocese of Superior would be an experience remembered for the rest of their lives. He added how many, young and old, had never been able to visit the cathedral, much less for such a special occasion.

He thanked the St. Francis Solanus, Reserve, students for the traditional Native drums-and-dance prayer prelude. As well, the Diocesan Chorale, seminarians and other servers, the Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree honor guard, the numerous faithful gathered – many of whom come year after year – and those participating by livestream. Lastly, he acknowledged the presence of the permanent deacons, their wives and his brother priests.
