We are looking forward to the Renewal of Vows and the Blessing of Oils services, which are taking place at Manchester Cathedral in Holy Week.
Serving and retired clergy, Church Army evangelists, licensed lay ministers and readers are all invited to renew their ordination and licensing promises. Lay people are encouraged to join too, both to witness the renewals and to make their own response, as fellow disciples engaged in the ministry of all the baptised.
During the service, oils will be blessed ready to be taken away for use across the diocese.
Two services will be taking place at the Cathedral.
- Monday 25th March at 10:30 am, Renewal of Vows and Blessing of Oils, Rt Revd Prof David Walker, Bishop of Manchester
- Tuesday 26th March at 11:00 am, Chrism Mass by Bishop of Beverley
