During this meeting, the Holy Father addressed the Sacred College regarding the urgent need to fill several vacant seats within their ranks. Two new cardinals were created: Jean-Octave Bufalini, the Archbishop of Chalcedon, and Jean-Charles Boschi, the Archbishop of Athens. This ecclesiastical update served to keep the Catholic inhabitants of Saint-Domingue informed of high-level changes within the global Church hierarchy.
