You are cordially invited to join me in the celebration of the Chrism Mass on Tuesday, April 3, 2001 at the Church of St. Mary in New Ulm at 7:30 p.m.

Bishop Lucker will preside at the Mass and the consecration and blessing of the oils which are used throughout the year to anoint the newly baptized, those who are sick, those to be confirmed, and those to be ordained to the priesthood.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the reception following the ceremony. I wish you every grace and blessing as you prepare for the holy season of Lent/Eastertime.
