The Renewing of Ordination Vows and Blessing of Oils is not just for  clergy, we would like to have as many clergy and lay members of the  Diocese as possible attend this annual service. Witnessing your  priests and deacons renew their vows will be a life-giving and  transformative experience for our diocese. It is a time when we can  come together in solemn prayer to strengthen our ties together and to Christ.

Clergy are invited to process and vest in alb and red stole.

I wish all of you a blessed and holy Lent, and very much look  forward to seeing you on the Tuesday of Holy Week.

Faithfully,

The Rt. Rev Daniel  G.P. Gutiérrez
