MISSION TRIP THREE - 2-20-16










THE THEATER 
St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College


In the center of the picture, between the Cardinal on the left and the Apostolic Nuncio on the right right, are the priest of the Diocese of Kingstown. 


Archbishop Nicola Girasoli, Apostolic Delegate to the Antilles, and myself. He gave a very spirited talk - almost charismatic. It was very powerful. 


An old friend, Archbishop Patrick Pindar of Nassau and also a graduate of St. Meinrad  Seminary, was among the several bishops attending. I led his priest and deacon retreat a few years ago.

Bishop Gerard County (pictured below) will take over the bishop's cathedra (chair) as third bishop of Kingstown today from Bishop Jason Gordon (second bishop - pictured here in red). The cathedral is the church that holds the bishop's cathedra. In the Diocese of Kingstown, it is called the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. Because of the large crowd, the cathedra will be brought to the Community College where the ordination will take place. Bishop Gordon will continue being bishop of Bridgetown, Barbados.
