Join us for a special service of Midnight Mass from Manchester Cathedral with Canon Grace Thomas. We celebrate the birth of our saviour into this world, reflecting upon the theme of holy silence during this service. Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. Be sure to tune in and be part of our community of faith, connecting worshippers across England and beyond. Watch on our Facebook page on Tuesday 24 December at 10:00pm. | The Church of England

What happens at a Chrism Mass? ✝️ Chrism Mass is celebrated at cathedrals during Holy Week. Earlier this week, clergy and licensed lay leaders gathered at Manchester Cathedral to share the Eucharist and renew their vows and commitments. A key part of the service is the blessing of sacred oils, which will be used over the next year to anoint for healing and to anoint the baptised, the confirmed, and the ordained. Following the service, the oils were distributed to each parish. | The Church of Eng
