4 Pinoy archbishops to receive 'pallium' in Rome
MANILA, June 26, 2012— Four Filipino bishops will be in Rome this week to receive the Pallium from the hand of Pope Benedict XVI.
Archbishops Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Jose Advincula of Capiz, John Du of Palo and Romulo Valles of Davao will be among those who will receive the pallium, which is the last stage of an archbishop’s appointment.
Benedict XVI will confer the pallium on a number of metropolitan archbishops appointed in 2011 in a concelebrated Mass at the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Basilica on June 29.
The papal pallium is a liturgical insignia of the archbishop made of white wool, which symbolizes the office of archbishop, particularly their bond and shared responsibility with the pope to be pastors in their regions.
The four Filipino prelates left for Rome yesterday. They will be joined by some of their priests and close relatives.
Each year on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, the pope gives a pallium to newly installed archbishops around the world.
Last year, Archbishops Jose Palma of Cebu and Sergio Utleg of Tuguegarao also received the same honor at the Vatican.
