After a gap of 16 months and despite the country still being under Level One lockdown conditions, the Grand Bailiwick of South Africa recently held an extremely well-attended Friday evening Vigil and Saturday Investiture Service and Formal Dinner.
At the Investiture Service, National Certificates of Merit were awarded to two final year medical student members who continue to work beyond the call of duty during the pandemic; two Bronze Medals of Merit (South Africa) were awarded for outstanding service to the Order and a Bronze Cross of Merit was awarded to a member by order of the Grand Master. A Knight was made an Officer of the Companionate of Merit.

At Easter, the members of the Grand Priory of Italy were mindful of the needy, the suffering and the little ones. The Dames and Knights of the Grand Priory distributed Easter doves to them as a sign of solidarity and friendship. The colomba di Pasqua, or “Easter dove” is recognised across Italy as a sign of spring and is Easter’s counterpart to the Christmastime panettone and pandoro.
The attached photos illustrate the donation made at the home for the relief of suffering located in S.Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia - Puglia). This important and advanced Hospital (health facility) was created and inaugurated in 1956 by Saint Pio of Petralcina, thanks above all to the contributions of the faithful.
