The Chrism Mass will be celebrated on March 31, bringing together clergy, religious, and faithful from across the Diocese of Baton Rouge. During this solemn liturgy, the bishop blesses the holy oils used in the sacraments throughout the coming year — the Oil of the Sick, the Oil of Catechumens, and the Sacred Chrism. Priests of the diocese also renew their promises of priestly service, offering a powerful sign of unity with the bishop and with one another. The Chrism Mass is one of the most significant diocesan celebrations of the year as the Church prepares to enter the sacred days of the Triduum.

The Collection for the Holy Land, in the words of Paul VI is "not only for the Holy Places but above all for those pastoral, charitable, educational, and social works which the Church supports in the Holy Land for the welfare of their Christian brethren and of the local communities." The Holy Land collection is taken up in most parishes on Good Friday.

The Catholic Life Center campus will be closed on Friday, April 03 to commemorate Good Friday and the Lord's Passion! Take some time to join our staff in prayer today as we remember Christ's sacrifice for us on the cross at Calvary.
