MARCHE E UMBRIA – HOLY MASS OF SUFFRAGE

19/07/2024

Saturday 25th May, on the occasion of the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, at the Shrine devoted to Saint Joseph of Copertino in Osimo, a Holy Mass was celebrated by the Rector Father Franco Buonamano, in memory of all deceased confreres, with a special mention to H.E. the Ambassador Count Giuseppe Balboni Acqua, Knight Gran Cross of Grace, who passed away last 25th December.

A representation of the Knights of the Delegation, led by Vicar Count Stefano Tuzi Gallo and by Delegate Noble Claudio Marciano di Scala, Nobile Patrizio di Scala, attended the Eucharistic Celebration. At the end of the Mass, he delivered a touching commemorative speech in which he recalled how the commitment to Christian charity, professed in life by our dear departed, should constitute an example and guide for all the members of our Order. Finally, taking as an example the unity of the Triune God who operates in the diversity of the three persons, not in opposition but in perfect harmony, the Delegate invited all Knights to contribute to the Order’s purposes in a united manner but preserving their own identity in diversity.

Among those present at the Holy Mass, in addition to the many citizens of Osimo, were also Marquis Giorgio Mummolo Pappalepore dei De Rossi, the Marquis and the Marquise Honorati and the Nobles Tomaino, which renewed their condolences to Count Barloni Acqua’s wife.
