Bishop James Conley made a pastoral visit to Sri Lanka in June, at the invitation of Cardinal Malcom Ranjith, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Bishop Conley traveled with Father Christopher Eckrich, the bishop’s priest-secretary and master of ceremonies.
Cardinal Ranjith will send priests to serve in diocesan parishes in the coming years, and the Diocese of Lincoln will sponsor two Sri Lankan seminarians beginning next academic year, 2026-2027.
