Welcome Archbishop Jurkovič!

Yesterday we welcomed to Halifax Archbishop Ivan Jurkovič, the Apostolic Nuncio to Canada.  This afternoon he will bestow on Archbishop Dunn a pallium from Pope Francis. The pallium is a scarf, or stole-like vestment that is worn over the chasuble when the archbishop celebrates Mass. This is a symbol of an archbishop’s unity with the Pope and his authority, and his responsibility to care for the flock the Pope entrusted to him.

The ceremony of the Investiture with the Pallium for Archbishop Dunn will take place at 3:00pm today at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica. The faithful invited to join in the celebrations in-person at the Cathedral, online by livestream (www.halifaxyarmouth.org) or live on Eastlink Community TV found locally on channel 10 or 610.

Congratulations Archbishop Dunn!
