The continued spread of the Omicron variant of COVID means that it has been necessary to cancel the International Pilgrimage scheduled to take place later this Spring at Velehrad. I realise that many members will be deeply disappointed at this news. As soon as there is further news about the rescheduling of this important event, I shall let members know.

Eustorgio in Milan (where the Chapel of the Magi is located), in the presence of Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio.

During this month, the collaboration between the Grand Priory of Italy OMOSLJ, the Judo Club Syonen Dan Association of Milan and the Judo Club Stade Association of Lausanne has made it possible to collect judogi and belts (sportswear) which will be distributed, through the champion Miss Vanessa Mballa, to the Associazione Raggio d'Africa (Rayon d'Afrique) to then be distributed to the various judo clubs in Cameroon, bringing children and young people closer to this sport, snatching them from the streets and opening up new horizons of life.
