Last October 7th, a representation of the Calabria delegation, at the invitation of the Archconfraternity of Maria SS del Rosario and San Giovanni Battista of Vibo Valentia, joined with faith and devotion in the celebration of Holy Mass in honor of the Queen of Victories. The Holy Mass, celebrated by Monsignor Filippo Ramondino, chaplain of the Sacred Militia of the city of Vibo Valentia, was attended and deeply felt.
Last October 10th, the Delegation of Calabria was the protagonist of a very special event. In fact, the delivery of the “medical devices” best classified as “pulse oximeters” took place at the Pediatrics Department of the Annunziata Hospital in Cosenza, which will be used to monitor young patients. On the occasion of the Jubilee Year, the idea of doing something tangible was born, and the project proposed by Monsignor Dario de Paola, chaplain for the City of Cosenza, was immediately embraced by the city’s highest religious and civic institutions. Seven medical devices were donated to the Hospital, and our Calabria Delegation, through the Representative of the City of Cosenza, Knight Officer Francesco Paolo Piro, (officially present at the event) was certainly involved in the donation and has emphasized the importance of choice and the unanimous support of all Ladies and Knights in achieving this goal.
Polistena (RC), 19.10.2025 – On the occasion of the World Mission Day, the delegation of Calabria made a donation of food, especially sweets, for the little ones assisted by the voluntary association “Il Samaritano”.
October 20th, 2025 – A renewed gesture of Christian Charity has clarified the link between the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and the community of Crotone. Representing the Order, Knight of Merit Vito Michele De Caro and Knight of Grace Antonio Oliverio, City Representative, responded promptly to the appeal of the Food Bank for Homeless people “Padre Pio”, offering not only a food contribution, but also their own active and concrete participation: in the cooking and preparation, as well as in the serving of meals intended for people in need.
Reggio Calabria, December 8th – On the occasion of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Knight Officer Antonino Campolo wanted to transform this anniversary into a tangible sign of closeness and attention to those experiencing greater fragility. In the Candlemas Parish of Reggio Calabria, Campolo donated 60 single-serving meals for those most in need, helping to offer immediate and dignified assistance to individuals and families going through a difficult time.
December 27th, 2025 – A first meeting was held at the Archbishop’s Palace of Crotone between the new Archbishop of Crotone – Santa Severina, H.E.R. Monsignor Alberto Torriani, and a representation of the Delegation. The city representative, Knight of Grace Antonio Oliverio, Knight of Grace Nicola Oliverio, and Knight of Merit Vito Michele De Caro recognized the commendable inspiration that inspires Monsignor Torriani: in his first episcopal office, coming from the diocese of Milan, he immediately identified the terms within which to promote and root a shared commitment in the social fabric of the Pythagorean city.
Thus, a perfect communion of purpose was established in the particular attention to be paid to the younger generations; similarly, a particular dedication to the most fragile and marginalized brothers, who in Crotone are increasingly and are fueling large pockets of marginalization, was confirmed by H.E.R. Monsignor Torriani, who therefore praised the numerous activities that the Crotone Knights periodically carry out in favor of the Food Bank “Padre Pio”, active since 1997 and where, on Christmas Day, the Archbishop himself brought his greeting and blessing.
December 23rd, 2025 – The relationship between the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and the community of Crotone has been further strengthened, by clarifying the true spirit of Christmas. Once again, the Food Bank for the Homeless “Padre Pio” hosted an initiative of the Constantinian Order. On behalf of the Delegation of Calabria, Knight of Merit Vito Michele De Caro and Knight of Grace Antonio Oliverio, City Representative, made a food donation; they cooked and served lunch to an even larger number of people than on other occasions. Knights Oliverio and De Caro donated approximately eighty slices of lean meat and as many portions of chicken meat. Then, assisted by the cafeteria volunteers, they prepared everything. The first course was instead a large pan of baked pasta cooked with patience and love by the volunteers themselves. Finally, Antonio Oliverio and Michele De Caro personally served meals to the canteen users. The day of solidarity ended with the exchange of greetings for Holy Christmas and the blessing imparted by Monsignor Limina to the Constantinian Knights and the volunteers of the diocesan structure.
On Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, at 5:30 pm, a solemn Holy Mass was held at the Church of Santa Caterina in Gioiosa Ionica to mark the pious passing of the Servant of God Francis II of Bourbon, the last sovereign of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
The initiative was promoted by the Two Sicilies Cultural Association of Gioiosa Ionica, in collaboration with the Delegation of Calabria, with the aim of preserving and passing on the historical and spiritual memory linked to the figure of Francis II.
The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Canon Father Nicola Commisso Meleca, Ecclesiastical Knight of Grace of the S.M.O.C.S.G., who during the liturgy recalled the Christian values of faith, humility, and witness experienced by the Servant of God, emphasizing the spiritual significance of his pious transit.
At the end of Holy Mass, a reflection on the topic “Memory and Identity” was held, led by Professor Mariolina Spadaro, during which the value of historical memory as a founding element of the cultural and spiritual identity of peoples was explored in depth, with particular reference to the tradition of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and its moral legacy.
The event, which represented a moment of gathering, reflection, and sharing, was attended by the faithful, knights, and members, demonstrating a keen interest in initiatives that unite spirituality, history, and cultural identity.
