In case you are not familiar with the Order, I read on its website that “the Sovereign Order of Malta is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilization. A lay religious order of the Catholic Church since 1113 and a subject of international law, the Sovereign Order of Malta has diplomatic relations with over 100 states and the European Union, and permanent observer status at the United Nations. It is neutral, impartial and apolitical.
Today, the Order of Malta is active in 120 countries caring for people in need through its medical, social and humanitarian works. Day-to-day, its broad spectrum of social projects provides a constant support for forgotten or excluded members of society.Please pray
For the soul of George Morgan Watson, father of Santa Cruz Pastor Father Stephen Watson, OCD. Mr. Watson died in Baltimore, Maryland on Feb. 10. Please pray for Father Stephen and the members of his family at this time.
