Cleveland Bishop Edward Malesic graciously invited the Cleveland Area of the Order of Malta to join the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre and other lay Orders at the annual Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on Tuesday, April 15th. During this beautiful and powerful Mass, the Bishop blessed and consecrated the three holy oils to be used throughout the year in various sacraments.  Serving as a powerful reminder of the shared mission and faith within the Church community, the Chrism Mass also included the renewal of priestly vows, where hundreds of priests reaffirmed their commitment to their ministry and unity with the Bishop.

In attendance were Brian McDonough, YOF; Mary Zenczack, DM; Greg Zenzcak, KM;  Niki McGowan, DM ; Arthus de Vergeron, Aux; and Michael Bontempo, Aux (not pictured).
