On January 23rd and 24th, 2027, the Solemn Vigil and the Investiture of the new members of the Grand Bailiwick of Sicily will take place. 

These upcoming ceremonies carry profound spiritual and institutional significance, marking the culmination of the official welcome extended to the new postulants, who will simultaneously become members of the Academy of Saint Louis. Called to bear witness with dedication to the Lazarite principles and the steadfast defense of Christian values, they are renewing a centuries-old tradition of faith and charity. 

Within this framework of solemn rites, the Academy—in collaboration with the Grand Bailiwick and the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Sicily—will, as is customary, host a significant moment of religious and cultural reflection. During the 2nd International Conference, a theme of paramount importance will be explored: "The Eucharist, Sacrament of the Unity of Christ’s Church: Historical Genesis, Doctrinal Foundations, and Perspectives for Full Communion Among Christians."
