CHURCH UPDATES
1524-2024
The 500th Anniversary of
The
Patriarchate of the West Indies
May 11th, 2025 Marks The 501st Anniversary of Our Church!!
At the request of King Ferdinand 'The Catholic', king of Spain and the West Indies, the Patriarchate of the West-Indies was reluctantly created in the year 1524 AD by the decree of Pope Clement VII of Rome, the Patriarch of the West. After years of reluctance of the Vatican, the Patriarchate of the West-Indies was created. Pope Clement VII consecrated His Excellency Antonio de Rojas Manrique, the Archbishop of Granada, Spain, to be the 1st Patriarch of the West-Indies
Patriarch Antonio de Rojas Manrique, the 1st Patriarch of the West Indies served from May 24, 1524 - June 27, 1527
The Consecration of
The Reverend Father Henry Guerrier as
Bishop of Thomonde Has Been Postponed
Due to delays by the Embassy of Trinidad and Tobago to grant a visa to Bishop-Elect Guerrier, His Grace's ordination to "Bishop of Thomonde" - which was scheduled for this 13th of July, has been unfortunately postponed. The Most Rev Lord Trevor ELIHU Greene, Patriarch of the West-Indies, has personally grieved the issues with the Trinidadian government.
Delay is not denial! The Church of Haiti will receive her Bishop of Haiti soon enough! We will keep you all informed of the events.
