"We never know the worth of water till the well is dry." (Thomas Fuller)
The African Hungarian Union and its leaders have expressed their thanks to the members of the Order of St Lazarus, Grand Priory of Hungary, for their donation of funding for a new well in Uganda.
People living in the area had to walk for tens of kilometres for drinking water before, but thanks to the AHU and the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem - Hungary, clean drinking water is now accessible to everyone.

The Western Cape Commandery of the Grand Bailiwick of South Africa recently raised a substantially larger amount of much needed funding for its designated beneficiaries - an orphanage and a hospital for terminally ill children – than has ever been achieved before.
Working in partnership with the Cape Town Burns Supper Club, members of the Commandery were able to auction and raffle a number of noteworthy items, to more than double the amount raised above that brought in at this event the previous year.

The Czech Grand Bailiwick is very sad to announce the death of the Chaplain-General of the jurisdiction, His Eminence Miloslav Cardinal Vlk, EGCLJ at the age of 83 years. Cardinal Vlk was for many years president of the European Bishops‘ Conference, chairman of the Bishops' Conference of the movement Focolare and archbishop of Prague. He was a close friend of Pope Francis. He took his function as the senior chaplain of our jurisdiction very seriously. He was not only interested in the activities of our hospices, but was in regular contact with each commandery. Our Father Cardinal will be greatly missed.
