2 Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland 510 Ocean Avenue Telephone: (207) Portland, ME Facsimile: (207) Office of the Moderator of the Curia MEMORANDUM Revised 2015 To: Pastors and Administrators From: Msgr. Andrew Dubois Re: Chrism Mass Tickets & Distribution of Oils 2015 Date: Friday, March 13, Day, Time & Place: The Most Rev. Robert P. Deeley will celebrate the Chrism Mass on Tuesday, March 31 at 5:45 PM at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. 2. Tickets for Admission: An allotment of General Seating tickets to the Chrism Mass are being sent (via the USPS) to all the pastors/administrators of each parish for distribution to parishioners. If your parish has been selected to receive the holy oils from Bishop Deeley (see list on page 2 of this memo), enclosed in that envelope will be 2 Reserved Seating tickets (plus your allotment of General Seating tickets). The Reserved Seating tickets are for your 2 parish representatives who will receive the holy oils from the Bishop. Pastors of the parishes scheduled to receive the holy oils from Bishop Deeley were contacted via on Tuesday, March 10. Reminder: we are beginning a new three-year rotation (adjusted for recent mergers and changes in staffing), over which time all parishes will once again have the opportunity to receive the holy oils. Parish representatives, along with their pastor, must arrive at the Cathedral no later than 5:00 PM for a brief rehearsal with Maryanne Harrington. Extra tickets may be requested between Friday, March 20, and Wednesday, March 25. Pastors/administrators or a designated parish representative must Christine Pitteroff at christine.pitteroff@portlanddiocese.org. After March 25, tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please return any unused tickets to Chris Pitteroff at the Chancery ASAP so that other requests for tickets may be honored. 3. Liturgy: The Bishop celebrates the annual Chrism Mass with his presbyterate and the community of deacons, which manifests the communion of the clergy of the diocese with our bishop. Consequently, it is urged that as many priests and deacons as possible be present for the Blessing of Oils, the Consecration of the Chrism, and the Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service. All concelebrating priests and assisting deacons are asked to bring an alb and white stole. Please be present in the Cathedral Chapel by 5:15 PM. 4. Distribution of Holy Oils: Clean and empty oil stocks should be delivered to the Cathedral Chapel before Mass. Please dispose of last year s oils before arriving at the Cathedral. The holy oils must be disposed of properly, by either burning or burying them. One oil stock per parish, regardless of the number of churches that comprise the parish.

3 If you are not receiving the holy oils at the end of the Chrism Mass, they will be available in the Cathedral Chapel immediately following Mass. Vicars Forane in areas distant from Portland are urged to assist priests in their vicariates to obtain newly blessed oils. In some cases, a priest from the vicariate may volunteer to travel to Portland for the Chrism Mass; in other cases, a neighboring vicariate may designate such a representative. Priests should make sure that the oil remains fit for use and should replenish it from time to time, either yearly when the bishop blesses the oil... or more frequently if necessary (General Introduction to the Pastoral Care of the Sick, no. 22). 5. Mass of the Oils Northern Maine: As is the custom in our diocese, Bishop Deeley also will celebrate a Mass of the Oils in Northern Maine that will include the renewal of priestly promises and the distribution of the holy oils for parishes located in the northern and eastern parts of the state. This year, the Mass of the Oils will take place on Wednesday, April 1, at St. Bruno-St. Remi Church, St. Peter Chanel Parish, Van Buren, at 6:30 PM (please note the new time, with dinner at 4:45 PM).
