What is the Chrism Mass all about?

Oudtshoorn, 24 March 2026 – Below find a handy chart that explains the Chrism Mass succinctly and clearly. The Chrism Mass in the Diocese of Oudtshoorn is celebrated on the Tuesday during Holy Week in order to afford the clergy of whom some have to travel 100’s of kilometers to attend, sufficient time to attend and return before the Mass of the Lord’s Last Supper on Holy Thursday.

Hieronder vind u ‘n handige kaart wat verduidelik wat presies die Chrisma-mis is. Die Chrisma-mis word in die Bisdom Oudtshoorn op die Dinsdag gedurende Goeie Week gevier om al die klerus, waarvan vele 100’e kilometers moet reis, kans te gun om by te woon en betyds terug te kan keer vir die Mis van die Here se Laaste Avondmaal, Witte Donderdagaand.
