Chrism Eucharist in Paris  

This year in Holy Week three Chrism Eucharists were held in different parts of our diocese, to enable clergy and readers to gather with their bishops to renew their ministerial vows and commitments, and to celebrate the blessing of the oils used throughout the year in Christian Initiation, healing and ordinations.

This is a photo of the clergy and readers who gathered at St Michael's Paris, with the newly blessed oils.

The preacher at this service was the Chancellor of Holy Trinity Brussels, the Revd Canon Dr Robert Innes. His sermon (available as a PDF file for reading and download) is commended by Bishop David as an encouragement to all in ministry in this diocese, lay and ordained.
