KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Catholics in the archdiocese are invited to join Archbishop Shawn McKnight for his Pallium Mass on June 29, the solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
The palliums, which are liturgical vestments worn over the chasuble, will be blessed by Pope Leo XIV and distributed to the new archbishops from around the world.
Those attending in support of Archbishop McKnight will have the opportunity to gather for a meal with him after the Mass.
The archdiocese is not organizing a pilgrimage for this occasion, so travelers will arrange their own travel and transportation. Those interested can reserve seats together as a group at the Mass.
If you plan to be part of the group from Kansas City, send an email to Lisa McKelvey, director of stewardship and development, at: lmckelvey@archkck.org.
