Chrism Mass – St. Joseph’s Church, Batu Gajah 2012


This was Chrism Mass held St Joseph's Church , Batu Gajah in 2012.  Lovely church and very quaint.


The Bishop then was Anthony Selvanayagam ......


....and was attended by the priests in the Diocese of Penang. This years Chrism Mass (2017) was held in Kelantan.



 St Joseph Church, Batu Gajah, Perak 2012.



 The Chrism Mass which the Bishop celebrates with his presbyterium, and at which the oils are blessed, manifests the communion of the priests with their bishop.






The bishop blesses three oils, the oil of catechumens (oleum catechumenorum or oleum sanctorum), the oil of the infirm (oleum infirmorum) and holy chrism (sacrum chrisma)








  ......which will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the diocese for the year.
