The presentation of the Holy Oils is an important part of the Holy Thursday liturgy. Here is a brief explanation of the 3 oils.
The Chrism oil is a sign that Christians, incorporated by Baptism into the Paschal Mystery of Christ, dying, buried, and rising with him, are sharers in his kingly and prophetic Priesthood and that by Confirmation they receive the spiritual anointing of the Spirit who is given to them.
The oil of the Catechumens extends the effects of the baptismal exorcisms: it strengthens the candidates with the power to renounce the devil and sin before they go to the font of life for rebirth.
The Oil of the Sick, for the use of which Saint James is the witness, provides the sick with a remedy for both spiritual and bodily illness, so that they may have the strength to bear up under evil and obtain pardon for their sins.

CRS Rice Bowls
It's time for Rice Bowls! Each year, the Rice Bowl program raises money to continue the work of Catholic Relief Services in poor communities around the world, including some here in the United States. Rice Bowl materials will be available in the narthex of the church beginning Ash Wednesday, March 6.
Be sure to check out these online resources: In addition to filling your donation box, we encourage you also to visit the CRS website at www.crsricebowl.org. The website contains recipes for meatless meals, prayer resources, and even a Lenten Digital Retreat to help you observe this holy season.
This year, give your donation online. Due to the generosity of our parishioners, it takes considerable time and effort to collect, count, and sort Rice Bowl donations dropped off at the parish. For this reason, we will not be collecting Rice Bowls in the parish office this year. Instead, we are asking you to send the money you collect directly to CRS, using their online giving tool at www.crsricebowl.org. Be sure to include the name of our parish in the box provided! (You can also mail a check to Catholic Relief Services, CRS Rice Bowl, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, Maryland 21297-0303) Thank you for your support!
Questions? Contact Amy Auzenne in the parish office or at [email protected]
