The Bishop is a priest first, and continues to do all the things a priest does, thus he celebrates the Holy Mass, is the normal person who baptizes, counsels people, etc. In addition to all of those ceremonies, the bishop has a couple that are his alone: the Bishop is the usual minister for confirmation, a priest cannot confirm without the Bishop's permission. The Bishop blesses and consecrates the sacred oils during Holy Week, and it is he who consecrates and blesses Churches, altars, etc. But it is the Bishop alone who can ordain a priest or consecrate another Bishop (with the permission of the Holy Father).
