Pope Leo XIV confers the pallium, a white woolen vestment, on newly appointed metropolitan archbishops in a Mass at the Vatican. Multiple outlets report that the pope awards the pallia to dozens of archbishops from around the world, with at least three archbishops from the Philippines among the recipients. Inquirer.net identifies the Filipino recipients as Alberto Uy, Charlie Inzon, and David William Antonio, appointed metropolitan archbishops of the Archdioceses of Cebu, Cotabato, and Nueva Segovia, respectively. The pallium is described as a liturgical vestment worn over the shoulders by metropolitan archbishops during Mass. It is marked with six black silk crosses and fastened with three pins, and it signifies the recipients’ pastoral ministry, their communion with the pope, and their role as shepherds within their ecclesiastical provinces. GMA News Online reports that Pope Leo XIV confers the pallium on 32 newly appointed metropolitan archbishops, while Interaksyon reports 35 recipients overall. Despite the differing totals, all sources agree on the significance of the pallium and the participation of the three Filipino archbishops in the Vatican ceremony on June 29.
