Pope Francis' Holy Thursday mass: welcome

Good morning! As part of the 2022 Holy Week celebrations, Pope Francis will today preside over the Chrism Mass in St Peter's Basilica.

What is the Chrism Mass?

The Chrism Mass honours the institution of priesthood, and celebrates priests’ unity with the bishop of their diocese. Its name is a reference to the holy oils that are blessed as part of the service, before being used in the sacraments throughout the year ahead.
