Haiti's First Cardinal Receives Pope's Blessing

Haitian Bishop, Chibly Langlois, joined the College of Cardinals at the Consistory ceremony inside St. Peter's Basilica in February.

He was installed as a Cardinal along with 18 others. After Pope Francis's sermon, he handed out the cardinals' rings, a parchment certificate, and blessed and embraced each cardinal before and after the ring presentation.

The Haiti Embassy held a reception for Langlois after the Consistory. In attendance were President Martelly and First Lady, Sophia.
