Last Saturday, March 9th the Campobasso-Bojano Dioceses welcomed their new Bishop, Mons. Biagio Colaianni. He chaired the solemn investiture ceremony at the Basilica Minore dell’Addolorata of Castelpetroso in the presence of various religious, civil, militar authorities and a large crowd of believers.
In addition to the Order of Malta and to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a group of Knights of the delegation was invited and consisted of the following Knights: Comm. Secretary Giuseppe D’Amico, Knight Cristian Di Paola, Knight Roberto D’Aloisio, Knight Michele Di Maio, Knight Giuseppe Di Nonno. The beginning of the Holy Mass was characterised by the greetings of the Archbishop Emeritus, Mons. Giancarlo Maria Bregantini. He was accompanied by the aforementioned Knights with whom he lingered at the end of the function. This has confirmed his spiritual cooperative availability as Prior of the delegation and Knight Grand Cross of Ecclesiastal Grace.
Our Grand Master, Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies and our Molise Delegate, Duke Ettore d’Alessandro di Pescolanciano wished their most sincere congratulations to both the outgoing and the new Archbishop.
