Bishop W. Shawn McKnight, Bishop Emeritus John R. Gaydos and priests of the Jefferson City gather in the Cathedral of St. Joseph on March 30, 2021, the Tuesday of Holy Week, to celebrate the Chrism Mass. Bishop McKnight blessed the oils and consecrated the Chrism that will be used for sacraments throughout the diocese over the upcoming year. The bishops and priests also renewed the promises they made at their ordinations, and asked the people to continue praying for them. Afterward, they honored this year’s and last year’s priestly jubilarians. Bishop McKnight and Bishop Gaydos presented Lisa Oetting, retired longtime administrative secretary to the bishop, with a medal and certificate from Pope Francis.  (88 photos)
