CTND Presents Special on the Pallium Pilgrimage
Issued: August 19, 2009
Presented by the Catholic Television Network of Detroit, "A Shepherd's Mission: High Church & Home Movies" gives both a prayerful and personal perspective of Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron's pilgrimage to the Vatican to receive the pallium, a vestment that symbolizes his role in the Church. In the half-hour program taped in late June and early July, a professional camera crew is joined by Archbishop Vigneron's 11- and 10-year-old nephews, Garrett and Griffin Vigneron of Saint Clair. Together, they follow the archbishop through the streets and cathedrals of Rome, and share in his experience of receiving the pallium from Pope Benedict XVI.
The program is airing on CTND through the end of the month. To receive a copy for review, call (313) 237-5943. The programming schedule is as follows:
