Chrism Mass - Digital Copy

14th March 2016

Dear Silver Room Parents,

RE: Chrism Mass – Tuesday 22nd March

We will be travelling to Bunbury on Tuesday 22nd March to participate in the Chrism Mass that is held at the Bunbury Cathedral. Mass will begin at 11am and will conclude at approximately 12.15pm.

At this Mass, the Chrism Oil that will be used for our students when they make their Confirmation later in the year is blessed.

The sign of Confirmation is the Oil of Chrism, the most sacred of the oils. During the Confirmation ceremony, a person is anointed on the forehead with Chrism. As the oil is absorbed by the body, it is a sign of how the confirmed person is filled with the Holy Spirit. Chrism is olive oil mixed with a perfume so that it can never be confused with the other holy oils.

The Power of the sacraments is the power of Christ's Resurrection. Each year, therefore, Chrism is consecrated, and the Oils of the Sick and Catechumens are blessed, in Holy Week as part of the Easter celebrations.

We will be departing school promptly at 9.30am. Students are asked to wear their Summer uniform on this day instead of their normal sports uniform. I ask that all parts of the uniform including hair and shoes are neat and tidy. Please make sure that your child is wearing their leadership badge.

I would suggest that students have a substantial breakfast on this day as we will not be returning to school until approximately 1.30pm when they will be able to have lunch. A snack is served to the students after the Mass has concluded.

Please sign and return the permission slip below by Friday 18th March.

Any parents that are able to join us are very welcome. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Kind regards,

Caitlin Delane

Hi Parents and students, What a great weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell direction and see the whole coastline light up.
