SECOND SOLIDARITY WEEK: “CHRISTMAS FOR ALL”

28/12/2015

Reggio Calabria, 17^th – 28^th December 2015. Continuation of the solidarity tour of the Calabria Delegation with the second tranche of humanitarian assistance to be distributed to the disadvantaged families of the region planned for this Christmas period. The Vice Delegate, Dr. Aurelio Badolati, Commander of Merit with Plate, speaking in respect of the “Christmas for All” project expressed his interpretation of the true meaning of today’s Christmas: “ A Christmas of emotions, of good intentions but above all one of solidarity towards the last”. Because Christmas is the feast which in one way or another calls upon all of us, including non believers, to recover those values, lost along the daily course of a year, albeit also for emotional reasons. Such “Values” will once again be conveyed to Parishes, Pastoral Organizations (Caritas), Associations for the Elderly and Youth who, after having identified the last, will distribute basic food products donated (full load of a tir) as may be recalled, by Esselunga S.p.A., one of the main Italian chain stores operating in the large-scale retail trade. All this was made possible thanks to the active involvement of the Grand Prefect, H.E. Ambassador Augusto Ruffo di Calabria of the Princes of Scilla.

The following are the dates and beneficiaries identified for this second tranche of donations of basic food products:

17^th December – Sant’Eufemia D’Aspromonte (RC), “Parish of Sant’Eufemia Vergine e Martire”

19^th December _ Polistena (RC), “ Luigi Monti Community ”

19^th December – Taurianova (RC), “Parish of San Giuseppe”

DEFIBRILLATOR DELIVERED TO CARONIA

27/12/2015

Caronia (ME), 27^th December 2015. A defibrillator for emergency interventions was delivered to the church of San Biagio in Caronia after the celebration of Holy Mass officiated by Don Antonio Cipriano, Constantinian Chaplain and Archpriest of the pleasant centre of the Nebrodi. This important and noteworthy initiative reflects the spirit of the late Most Reverend Eminence Cardinal Pompedda, whose motto was: “ we need to be before we appear”. The machine is a semi-automatic defibrillator with a switch that allows it to be used either on adults or children. More than 40 operators have been specifically trained to use it. This valuable equipment will provisionally be kept in the town hall before it is permanently placed in the premises of the Emergeny Medical Services as soon as all the administrative procedures have been completed. At the end foodstuffs were donated to the Parish Caritas as part of the project “Fragments of Health”.
