Bishop James Conley celebrated the Chrism Mass April 14 at 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.
The priests of the diocese renewed the priestly vows made at their ordinations during the Chrism Mass, and priests celebrating milestone anniversaries (known as “jubilees”) were given special recognition at a dinner with their brother priests.
