Pope presents pallium to Archbishop Wilson
Archbishop Philip Wilson, Archbishop of Adelaide, has received his pallium from the Pope in a ceremony in St Peter’s Square.
The pallium, a circular band of lamb’s wool, signifies the archbishop’s status as Metropolitan of Adelaide.
Archbishop Wilson said: “It was really quite overwhelming and a reminder to me of my big responsibilities.
“The Pope was very well and when the pallium is placed over your shoulders he holds your hand and says: ‘Peace be with you’.
“He had a good strong grip and also spoke very strongly.”
