This past summer, Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan received his pallium from Pope John Paul II. A pallium symbolizes the twin responsibilities of shepherding the flock entrusted to each metropolitan archbishop and fostering communion with the vicar of Christ. Close to 600 pilgrims from southeastern Wisconsin journeyed to Rome for the historic occasion.

The week-long Pallium Pilgrimage included Masses at St. Maria in Trastevere, Gesu Church, St. Ignatius, and St. Peter's Basilica. The pilgrims toured the Vatican Museum, ancient Rome and Christian Rome. A day-long tour of Assisi, including Mass at St. Francis Basilica, also was part of the pilgrimage.

Anchor Tammy Elliott and photojournalist Bob Vermiglio of WISN TV 12 travelled to Rome to cover the Pilgrimage. WISN TV 12 is making its news coverage of the Pallium Pilgrimage available in DVD and VHS format.

Copies are available through Wisconsin Media Services. The cost of a DVD is $35 and a VHS tape is $35. Orders can be placed via e-mail (wismedia@earthlink.net), on the internet (wisconsinmediaservices.com), or by telephone at 262-548-4242.
