ORDER OF MALTA-FEDERAL ASSOCIATION, USA 1 President’s Message

t gives me great pleasure to present to you the 2012 Annual Report of the Federal Association of the Order of Malta. It was a year of both change and solid advancement for our Association. This Report is designed to give you an overview of both facts and faces of the Federal Association as we serve Our Lords the Poor and the Sick in many Iwonderful ways. Just as the Order lives one week each year “in convent” during the Pilgrimage at Lourdes, we work together “in community” during the rest of the year with our fellow dames, knights, chaplains, candidates, auxiliaries, spouses and friends. It is not too much to say that it is a foretaste of the Kingdom of Heaven. To paraphrase Msgr. Brouwet, the new Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, the salvation to which we are called is not an individual salvation. The fraternity between and among women and men can only be achieved in the recognition of a common paternity, that of God. Our liturgies and events: Formation Day; the Feast of St. John the Baptist; Investiture Weekend; our Healing Masses; our Mass for the Right to Life; Masses for our Deceased; our monthly Masses; our Defense of the Faith Forums; our regional activities, and most especially, the Lourdes Pilgrimage, itself, are all designed to draw us away from sepa- ration, isolation, and enclosure within ourselves. This worship and work, shoulder to shoulder, is surely the wellspring of our spirituality and ultimately of our salvation. This Report covers the structure that makes these activities possible beginning with finances and then moves on to such items as grants, membership, recognition, memorialization of We have work to do, our departed confreres, and our methods of support. It is transparent and as thorough as we can make it, but if you have questions beyond what is offered here, we shall do our best to provide you with answers. Your continued support on every level is essential to the vitality of and our motto is our the Association. The funds raised through our Annual Appeal are the very life blood of our Association. These moneys go, through the rigorous and objective distillation of our Grants mission: Defense of Committee, to many charitable projects throughout our regions, and also to support our Defense of the Faith projects through the good work of that Committee. I cannot overemphasize how the Faith and Service important it is that every Member of our Association contributes to the Annual Appeal. This next year promises to be both challenging and rewarding. We have already celebrated the to the Poor . 900th Anniversary of our Order’s papal chartering. We are the world’s oldest Christian charity by far. We have a new pope. Not too far ahead is the Order’s 5-year Vision Planning Session in Rhodes and then the Chapter General Meeting where many new Order leaders are elected. The activities of our own part of the Order are no less challenging and exciting here in our own country. We have work to do, and our motto is our mission: Defense of the Faith and Service to the Poor. I hope that you will continue your wonderful support of this mission in the year to come. With warmest confraternal regards,

Geoffrey Gamble

President

8 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Lourdes Pilgrimage–2012

n May 3 the Federal Association contingent of nearly 300 knights, dames, candidates, chaplains, Oauxiliary, malades and their compan- ions landed in France to participate in the Order of Malta’s annual Lourdes Pilgrimage. Most of the pilgrims flew from Baltimore on the charter aircraft and were greeted upon arrival by a dozen members of the Advance Team. This is a group of knights and dames who arrive a few days early to make sure the hotel rooms are set and to secure the voitures or carts used to transport the maladies. Leading the group was the Association’s Principal Chaplain, His Eminence Donald Cardinal Wuerl, Candlelight procession at Lourdes Archbishop of Washington. The Cardinal was engaged in every aspect of the pilgrimage for the days he was able to be in Lourdes—the Opening Mass for the 40–45 people on their team healthy, the three U.S. Associations, the Healing happy, in line, and on time throughout Mass, and the Candlelight Procession. the week. 2012 Pilgrimage Leaders Generous with his time, he had a smile After being in or very near the Lindsay Gallagher (Baltimore), Chair Rev.

He also faced a similar controversy involving lay investiture with King Henry I of England. In granting the bull of 1113, Pope Paschal not only cemented Brother Gerard’s establishment as a religious order of the Church, but also granted it the juridical independence that has made possible the service aspect of its mission to Our Lords, the Poor and the Sick, which has been its hallmark for the past 900 years. His decree estab- lished The Order of Saint John as the first of the great crusading orders that characterized medieval piety and fidelity to the papacy, thereby beginning the tradition that survives, indeed thrives, down to our own day. In his decree Pope Paschal gave The Order an exempt status free of any juridical oversight save that of the Pope himself, the unique character of The Order that was the beginning of its ultimately attaining and main- taining recognition as a sovereign entity.

Students were asked to write a 500–1000 word essay on the question, “Describe a pivotal point in your faith life when you realized you were a gift from God.
