Our Lieutenant Amb. Roberto Buontempo, is currently on pilgrimage in the Holy Land, accompanied by five fellow Lieutenants from Italy.

This pilgrimage was born out of a shared conviction: first, to show support and solidarity with those who are suffering, and secondly, to be witnesses, so that others may be encouraged to return to the Holy Land.

The group has been received by the Custos of the Holy Land and by His Beatitude the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, an honour that reflects the importance of this moment.

This is not only a significant spiritual journey, but also a historic one. For the first time, six Lieutenants—five from Italy and one from Malta—are undertaking a pilgrimage together, at a time marked by tension and uncertainty in the region.

Their united presence is a powerful gesture of faith, fraternity, and hope.

Let us all keep the Holy Land and its people in our thoughts and prayers.
