Bailiff Michel Bohé OSJ, CMSJ Noteworthy memories of the past have, on the 8th of March 2014, made my visit to Malta a pleasurable and yet sentimental visit purposely made to celebrate, with the members of the Malta Priory, the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of ‘The Malta Priory’. Throughout these past fifty years, the Malta Priory has under- gone great changes - some good but others painful to the extent that schisms started to take place right after the death of King Peter. The main and most important change was when The Malta Priory was elevated, in February 22, 1970, to a Grand Priory to be known as the Russian Grand Priory of Malta. and to become the mother and the base of the Order as it stands today. From the many schisms that had occurred, a fortunate and positive move took place in April 2006 when, by the signing of a Concordat, a number of Priories joined the Russian Grand Priory of Malta to return back within their home base and International Headquarters in Malta.

  • RUSSIAN TRADITION of the KNIGHTS of MALTA OSJ The
    RUSSIAN TRADITION OF THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA OSJ The Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller is a collection of charitable organisations claiming continuity with the Russian Orthodox grand priory of the Order of Saint John. Their distinction emerged when the Mediterranean stronghold of Malta was captured by Napoleon in 1798 when he made his expedition to Egypt. As a ruse, Napoleon asked for safe harbor to resupply his ships, and then turned against his hosts once safely inside Valletta. Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch failed to anticipate or prepare for this threat, provided no effective leadership, and readily capitulated to Napoleon. This was a terrible affront to most of the Knights desiring to defend their stronghold and sovereignty. The Order continued to exist in a diminished form and negotiated with European governments for a return to power. The Emperor of Russia gave the largest number of Knights shelter in St Petersburg and this gave rise to the Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller and recognition within the Russian Imperial Orders. In gratitude the Knights declared Ferdinand von Hompesch deposed and Emperor Paul I was elected as the new Grand Master. Origin Blessed Gerard created the Order of St John of Jerusalem as a distinctive Order from the previous Benedictine establishment of Hospitallers (Госпитальеры). It provided medical care and protection for pilgrims visiting Jerusalem. After the success of the First Crusade, it became an independent monastic order, and then as circumstances demanded grafted on a military identity, to become an Order of knighthood. The Grand Priory of the Order moved to Rhodes in 1312, where it ruled as a sovereign power, then to Malta in 1530 as a sovereign/vassal power.

This national shrine commemorates the martyrdom of the Jesuit Jean de Brébeuf and his companions in 1649. Despite being closed for the winter, the Director, Father Michael Knox, sj, opened the site for us and guided us through a discussion, mass, a communal meal, and a visit to all parts of the shrine, explaining the meaning and the need for a true commitment to Christ, as well as the history of the original Jesuits at Midland. Very few National Pilgrimage to Lourdes churches can concentrate the mind like the simple clearing in the from May 4 to May 8, 2018 forest at St - Ignace, where the martyrs were tortured and died for their faith and their parishioners.
