Pope Leo XIV confers the pallium on metropolitan archbishops during a Mass at the Vatican on Monday, June 29. According to reports, the ceremony includes 32 newly appointed metropolitan archbishops, among them three Filipinos: Alberto Uy, Charlie Inzon, and David William Antonio. The three are named as the metropolitan archbishops of the archdioceses of Cebu, Cotabato, and Nueva Segovia. The pallium is described as a white wool liturgical vestment worn over the shoulders by metropolitan archbishops when celebrating Mass. It is marked with six black silk crosses and fastened with three pins. Sources state that the vestment symbolizes the archbishops’ pastoral ministry, their communion with the pope, and their mission as shepherds of the faithful within their respective ecclesiastical provinces. The reports frame the event as part of the formal installation and confirmation of leadership roles for the metropolitan archbishops after their appointments.
