Bishop James Conley celebrated the Chrism Mass April 3 in the Cathedral of the Risen Christ in Lincoln. He blessed the three sacred oils used in the sacraments throughout the diocese — Chrism, the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of Catechumens. Priests of the diocese renewed the priestly vows made at their ordinations, and priests celebrating milestone anniversaries were given special recognition at a dinner after Mass.
