The service is also known as the ‘Reaffirmation of Ordination Vows and Blessing of the Oil of the Sick and of the Chrism’ and is celebrated every year in Holy Week.
It is an opportunity for clergy to reflect on and reaffirm their vows made at ordination, especially in the light of the obedience and faithfulness of Jesus in the week between his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his approaching crucifixion on Good Friday.
As the clergy reaffirmed their vows, it is also an opportunity for lay people to support their clergy and to rededicate themselves to our lay ministry.
