Each year Archbishop Timothy Broglio concelebrates with his priests the Chrism Mass, during which the priests renew their commitment and the oils intended for sacramental use on military installations and in VA medical centers served by the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, are blessed and consecrated.
The sacred oils consecrated and blessed by Archbishop Broglio can be either picked up after the Chrism Mass or shipped to an installation if you have requested them ahead of time. The time to place an order to receive sacred oils at the Chrism Mass is now closed. If you need oils, please request them via the myAMS portal.
If you have any questions, please contact the Rev. Msgr. Anthony Frontiero, Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, at vicargeneral@milarch.org or 202–719–3630.
