A very interesting ceremony of the Catholic Church where the oils that are used for anointing and for adding to Holy Water are consecrated. Here the oils are brought to the Altar during the Chrism Mass and then Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito blesses the Chrism after adding balsom. This took place at the Cathedral of Saint Ignatius Loyola in the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida.
