Chiesanuova (FI), May 8, 2026 – The celebratory ceremony of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Rosary, Queen of Victories of Pompei, took place in the church of San Donato in Chiesanuova (FI). The event was organized by the Tuscan Delegation of the Constantinian Order, with an invitation extended to the Delegate for Molise and his knights. The religious service was celebrated by H.E.R. Cardinal Ernest Simoni, the renowned exorcist prelate and “living martyr” of the Albanian communist regime. The Cardinal was assisted by the Vicar Prior, the Reverend Canon Donato Mollica, and the Prior Don Cristian Comini, the local parish priest, in a spiritual atmosphere enriched by the symbols and rituals of Catholic tradition.

At the end of the solemn Holy Mass, the supplication for the Indulgence took place, invoking the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel through the protective prayer of Pope Leo XIII. Subsequently, Cardinal Simoni led the exorcism prayer and the blessing of salt and water for spiritual and divine protection against evil influences and for the purification of all those gathered.

In front of a parish packed with faithful and knights, the Delegate of Tuscany, Count Guido Francesco Poccianti, Noble of Livorno, read the prayer of the Constantinian Knights. This was followed by greetings and thanks from the Grand Chancellor of the Constantinian Order, H.E. Don Francesco Ruspoli, Prince of Cerveteri. Finally, the Delegate for Molise, Don Ettore d’Alessandro, Duke of Pescolanciano, present with a small representation of knights, honored the Constantinian authorities with some copies of the publication on Molise identity history written by collaborator Giuseppe Magnetta. The day concluded with a reception to celebrate Cardinal Simoni’s 70 years of priesthood.
