Invitation to Chrism Mass

Dear Friends in Christ:

I cordially invite you to participate, along with your Pastor and all the priests of the Diocese, in the Mass of Chrism on Tuesday, March 26, 2002, at 7:30 p.m. at Saint Raphael Cathedral. As a Catholic in the Diocese of Madison, I ask that you please try to participate in this special sign of unity for our Diocese and universal Church. As priests and people we commit ourselves to become living worshippers.

Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, has, time and again, emphasized the new millennium as a ripe time for new evangelization. All baptized persons have a responsibility to take part in and to promote the growth of the Church in the spread of the Gospel and the renewal of each one's faith to follow more closely in the footsteps of Jesus.

If it is not possible for you to come to the Cathedral for the Mass of Chrism, please join us in spirit and in prayer as we bless the Sacred Oils and pray for those who will receive them.

Grace, Mercy, and Peace,

Most Reverend William H. Bullock
Bishop of Madison
