On April 15, 2025, clergy from across the diocese gathered for a Chrism Mass to renew their vows and hold a Blessing of Oils. The diocese cannot thank our clergy enough for all of the leadership, work, compassion, and drive they put into our local communities. Your ministry is valued, and we’re excited to continue on this journey with all of you.
Following the service, clergy gathered for a lunch and a short discussion with Bishop-elect Amy Dafler Meaux, who will be consecrated as the Ninth Bishop of West Missouri on May 3, 2025.
Almighty God, you anointed your Son Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit and with power to bring to the world the blessings of your reign: Anoint your Church with that same Spirit, that we who share in his suffering and his victory may bear witness to the gospel of salvation; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives andreigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
