Museum continues to preserve Cardinal Ritter’s legacy

Photos and audio: Archdiocesan chrism Mass
Celebrated annually during Holy Week, the chrism Mass is the occasion when holy oils used in the sacraments are blessed and priests ministering in the archdiocese renew their ordination promises. Representatives from parishes and religious communities across central and southern Indiana receive the oils during the Mass then take them back to their faith communities. See photos from the event or get audio of Archbishop Tobin's homily.
