The apostolic nuncio to the United States will bestow the blessed Pallium upon Archbishop Coyne in a tradition dating back centuries in the Catholic Church. The Pallium itself is a scarf-like liturgical vestment representing a lamb, denoting the wearer's role as a 'good shepherd' to his flock. This will be a historic moment in the annals of the Archdiocese of Hartford, as Archbishop Coyne will be the first in this role to officially receive the Pallium in Hartford since Pope Francis' mandated change to the longstanding custom of public investiture by himself in Rome.
