On June 29, 2011 at 10 a.m. over 40 Archbishops including Most Rev. Charles H. Dufour newly installed Archbishop of Kingston, Jamaica attended the Imposition of the Pallium Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City.

It was a most colorful and majestic ceremony with a delegation of 85 persons who came to witness Archbishop Dufour receiving the pallium from His Holiness Pope Benedict XV1.
The delegation came from Poland, England, France, United States of America and Jamaica which included 10 Priests, Sisters and Lay persons.
