Msgr. Joseph Francis Ambrosio, passed away on October 4 (2020) at the age 0f 72. Born in Jersey City, NJ on March 22, 1948, he was the son of Francesco and Racchele (nee\u2019 Faccone) Ambrosio, immigrants from Morrone del Sannio in Italy\u2019s province of Campobasso. He was ordained a priest on May 24, 1974 in Newark, New Jersey, having graduated from St. Peter\u2019s University and Immaculate Conception Seminary, and later from St. John\u2019s University. He dedicated his entire priestly ministry within the Archdiocese of Newark to the Italian Apostolate, of which he was the diocesan director, as a parochial vicar and pastor. His last assignment was at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Newark, where he began as administrator in 1996, where he was pastor since 1999 until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Msgr. Ambrosio entered\nthe Constantinian Order as an Ecclesiastical Knight of Grace in 2016, becoming\nan Official Ecclesiastical Knight of Grace in 2019. He was dedicated to the\nRoyal House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, and was able to meeting Their Royal\nHighnesses on different occasions, hosting Her Royal Highness, Princess\nBeatrice of Bourbon-Two Sicilies this past February, when Her Royal Highness\nassisted at Msgr. Ambrosio\u2019s Sunday Mass, and was his guest at the luncheon\nafterward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, our respected and\nbeloved Msgr. Ambrosio suddenly died on October 4, 2020. His passing away on\nthat day is no coincidence, because it was the first Sunday of the month of\nOctober, Rosary Sunday, the day dedicated to his much-loved Lady of the Rosary\nof Pompei, Co-Patroness of the Constantinian Order. He loved this annual feast,\nand always spread the devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary at the parishes he\nserved. Hearing this unexpected news, the office of the American Delegation\nquickly informed the knights and dames of Monsignor\u2019s peaceful death, who were shocked\nand saddened, given their attachment to the loveable priest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the afternoon of October 8, the Delegate, Vice Delegate and Executive Director of the Delegation helped to carry the casket into church, where the viewing of the body took place. Msgr. Ambrosio\u2019s mortal remains lay in state close to a beautiful flower arrangement in the shape of a Constantinian Cross, along with the Labarum, the Order\u2019s funeral pall, the flag of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and his brevit. Many knights and dames came to the viewing, and also assisted at the Vigil Mass celebrated by Most. Rev. Arthur Serratelli, Bishop Emeritus of Paterson. The next day, October 9, the Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated by His Eminence, Joseph Cardinal Tobin, Archbishop of Newark, and also attended by various knights. After the Mass, the funeral procession toward Madonna Cemetery in Fort Lee followed, with the hearse preceded by knights carrying Msgr. Ambrosio\u2019s insignia and the Constantinian Labarum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pray for the repose\nof Msgr. Joseph Ambrosio\u2019s soul and the consolation of his family and friends,\nthrough the intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary, Co-Patroness of the Order,\nour Patron Saint George, and all of our heavenly intercessors. Requiescat in\npace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u2018dean\u2019 of the American Delegation of the Constantinian Order, Rev. Msgr.
