Fra’ John T. Dunlap, member of the Sovereign Council was nominated this morning by Pope Francis as Lieutenant Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, succeeding Fra’ Marco Luzzago who passed away on 7 June last.
In his letter of appointment, Pope Francis states that ‘the sudden departure of the Lieutenant Grand Master, Fra’ Marco Luzzago, a few months before the celebration of the Extraordinary Chapter General, brings the Hierosolomitan Order to a new moment of dismay and uncertainty.
