Francois Gayot, helped promote the Pastoral Office of Bishops. According to him, an episcopal conference should not be an isolated group of bishops, but a "school of communion", as said Jean-Paul II, that is to say an episcopate who reflects, thinks, prays and decides together. Archbishop François Gayot was recognized for the serenity of his moral authority, the moderation of his speech and personality imbued with great modesty. He was regarded during his ministry as a great humanist and perceived by the Haitian church as one who could become the first cardinal of Haiti. HL/ HaitiLibre
