Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kingston, Jamaica says farewell to Ambassador Silva

The Holy Trinity Cathedral bid farewell to Jesus Silva, former ambassador of Spain to Jamaica, shortly before he departed for his new posting in Panama. His Excellency, Ambassador Jesus Silva with Monsignor Kenneth Richards, Rector of the Holy Trinity Cathedral

It was Ambassador Silva who made the initial contact with the Spanish restoration expert, Professor Barriga, and his team. Ambassador Silva also secured financial support for the restoration project through his own government.

Ambassador Silva was very active not only in the diplomatic community in Jamaica, but in the country's cultural and artistic "scene", and his contribution to the marvelous restoration of the Cathedral is seen by many as his most significant legacy.
