On the occasion of Holy Easter, the Knights and Dames of the Piacenza representation gathered at the local Caritas headquarters to prepare over one hundred bags (bearing the Order’s logo) filled with various food products. These bags with food supplies will be delivered, through Caritas, to families facing severe financial difficulties. The Vice Delegate, Knight Officer Pietro Coppelli, intervened by recalling how the Constantinian Order, both locally and nationally, has been carrying out various activities for years—including food drives—with an ever-increasing focus on high social impact initiatives. The Director of the Diocesan Caritas of Piacenza-Bobbio, Deacon Mario Idda, accompanied by Dr. Franco Zuccone, Caritas board member, thanked the Constantinian Order for this beautiful solidarity initiative.

The Vice Prior, Right Reverend Knight Don Stefano Antonelli, blessed the bags and presided over the Holy Mass in the nearby church of the Immacolata di Lourdes. At the conclusion, the Vice Delegate thanked the numerous Confreres who committed themselves to preparing the food bags and conveyed the greetings of the Delegate for Emilia-Romagna, Knight of Justice Count Gian Luca Mattioli Belmonte Cima, extending warm wishes for a peaceful Holy Easter.
