Reggio Calabria, February 19th, 2026 – Sixty hot meals in single portions were donated to the needy in the area of the Candelora Parish.
The initiative was promoted by the Order, which continues to demonstrate its vocation to serve the faith and Christian charity through concrete works. In a time marked by difficulty and loneliness, sharing a hot meal becomes a tangible sign of hope and closeness.
The gesture takes on particular significance in light of the recent World Day of the Sick, which draws attention to those suffering in body and spirit. “I was hungry and you gave me food” (Mt 25:35): words that find concrete expression in this work of mercy.
The distribution of meals was a moment of fraternity and presence, a sign that lived faith translates into genuine care for the most vulnerable. A small, great gesture that silently renews the light of charity in the heart of the community.
