Cardinal Fernando Filoni took office as Grand Master shortly before the pandemic began, so he was unable to meet with members of the Order during this long and painful period. However, His Eminence has sought alternative ways of communicating with Knights and Dames, notably through the “Grand Master’s Corner” column on the Order’s international website, as well as through virtual meetings held over the past few months. Following the easing of restrictions related to the pandemic, he has resumed meetings with members, especially in June in Rome. He will soon travel to the United States and other countries, including Monaco and Malta, where he will personally preside over Investiture ceremonies and be able to respond directly to questions from Knights and Dames, in the hope of encouraging mutual fellowship.
