The annual clergy gathering on the Tuesday of Holy Week (April 7) begins at 11 AM with a Eucharist and a Blessing of Oils. (For those of you new to the diocese, the only clergy who vest are those who have a role in the service.)
Oils of chrism and and of healing will both be made available at the service in small blue bottles. You may also bring your own bottles to be filled at the service.
After the service, clergy will pose together for a photo, indoors or out, depending on the weather! Then all will share a noonday meal.
All active clergy in the diocese are required to attend. Please RSVP by Friday, March 27 using this online form (click here).
Active clergy unable to attend Clergy Renewal of Vows, please send regrets to Bishop Hughes at chughes@dioceseofnewark.org.
PLEASE NOTE: Clergy who are retired and/or do not live or serve in the diocese are invited but not required to attend this event, so there is no need to send regrets.
