The Chrism Mass is a major liturgical celebration in the Catholic Church, traditionally held during Holy Week (often on the morning of Holy Thursday). It is a Mass where the Bishop blesses the holy oils used in the sacraments throughout the year and, in many places, the priests renew their ordination promises, demonstrating unity within the diocese.

Our Apostolic Vicariate of Tabuk then invites you to join in the Eucharistic Celebration on March 31,2026 at 8:30 in the morning to join our Mission Rectors in prayers and witness them in their RENEWAL OF VOWS as priest. The mass will be at St. Saint William's Cathedral - Tabuk City.

THE Apostolic Vicariate of Tabuk LITURGICAL GUIDELINES
ON THE CELEBRATIONS OF MARRIAGE

CHAPTER II. LITURGICAL GUIDELINES ON THE CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE

Section 3.a. It has to be understood and to be accepted fully that celebration of Marriage in the Church is a prayer and a sacrament; as such, the order how it is to be celebrated cannot be altered, neither by the Solemnizing Priest nor the Couple. The rites and their ex*****on are determined by the norms contained in the Rite of Marriage, as approved by the Church.

Section 3.b. The celebration of Marriage, as laid down in the official Liturgical Books, supersedes any preference to be introduced by any party – like matters of choreography, artistry and creativity, which are non-essentials to the celebration of the Sacraments.

Section 4. Arrange and set dates of practices for the Rite of Marriage, with the Catechists in Charge or with the designated Parish Lay Leaders, before the actual Church Ceremony.
As a rule, the trained and commissioned Commentators and Lectors of the mission station or gimong are to serve in the Wedding Ceremony. The couple may opt to have their own Commentator and Lectors provided that they inform and make proper arrangement with the Parish Priest or with the Parish Office; after which, their assigned Lectors and Commentator attend the practice or rehearsal for the Wedding Ceremony.

STEPS TO CONFESSION
Jesus says in today's Gospel Reading, "REPENT."
Marthew 4:17

Confession (the Sacrament of Reconciliation) involves five main steps: examining your conscience, being truly sorry, firmly resolving to amend your life, confessing your sins to a priest, and doing the penance assigned.

Prepare by reflecting on sins against the Ten Commandments, then confess them directly and honestly to a priest.

Steps to Confession:
Preparation: 3 R's
1) REVIEW - Examine your conscience, recalling sins since your last confession. Use the ten commandments to see whether or not you have sinned.
2) REMORSE - feel true contrition (sorrow) for your sins.
3) RESOLUTION - Make a firm resolve not to sin again but live a new life.

Then go to confession.
Entrance: Enter the confessional (behind a screen or face-to-face) and make the Sign of the Cross.

Greeting: Greet the priest with, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been [time] since my last confession".

Confession: Confess your sins clearly and simply, focusing on mortal sins, though venial sins should also be confessed.

Advice & Penance: Listen to the priest's advice and accept the penance (a prayer or act of charity).

Act of Contrition: Pray the Act of Contrition when prompted by the priest to express sorrow.

Absolution: The priest, acting in the person of Christ, will give you absolution, to which you respond, "Amen".

Dismissal: The priest will dismiss you; you may then leave and complete your assigned penance.

If you are nervous, you can tell the priest it has been a long time, and he will guide you through the process.
