    10Palermo, Sunday 30 October 2016 – The Metropolitan Archbishop of Palermo, H.E. Mons. Corrado Lorefice, celebrated a solemn mass to welcome Mons. Salvatore Grimaldi, Ecclesiastical Knight Commander of Grace of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George as he assumes his new post as parish priest of the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity La Magione.

    Today, as in the past, the Knights continue to provide assistance to the needy of the parish: on this occasion the Delegation donated a portable electrocardiograph and provided for periodic cardiologic examinations thanks to the collaboration of the Knights and Dames of the Order who are physicians.
