Liturgy Question & Answer

Blessings and Replated Sacred Vessels
Fr. Edward McNamara, LC

Q. I sent my 57-year-old chalice and paten to have the inside of the cup and the top of the paten replated with gold. It was consecrated by a bishop back at that time, something that is not done anymore. My question is: Is it necessary to bless the chalice and paten before using them for Mass? -- J.H., Austin, Texas
