Genoa, May 28, 2025 – Some members of the Liguria Delegation gathered, together with many supporters of the Order, at the residence of Knight Gerard Deiss. The purpose was to take regular stock of the various social solidarity initiatives planned in the spirit of the Jubilee of Hope. This spirit is more relevant than ever. We constantly witness this during our many meetings to donate food or personal goods to lonely people and families in the most disadvantaged areas of Genoa’s historic center, its suburbs, or the Western Ligurian Riviera near the French border. People have now lost hope for a better future. They desperately cling to their daily needs to cope with a very difficult existential situation, which increasingly affects both Italians and non-EU citizens in equal measure. The donation of gift parcels, tailored to individual beneficiaries, manages to bring a small comfort to people and children. Unfortunately, the requests are so numerous that the Delegation is regularly forced to make choices that help many, but do not reach many others in need.
