Letter from the Vatican
I have the pleasure to announce that His Holiness Pope Francis has read our letter of the 28 September, 2015.
The letter says:
I would invite you to follow the guidelines as suggested by the local bishops in the dioceses where the groups is present.
This means that the chapters must liaise with their local bishops how the investiture is conducted.
Just a simple prayer and blessing of the candidates after Holy Communion in the Mass.
His Excellency Peter Paul Portelli
Grand Master

Grand Prior Chev. Ramon Jose Sebastia-Moreno y Ibarra is presenting the Holy Relics to Fr. Manuel Sunaz Chaplain of the Confraternity of the Grand Chapter of Melbourne.
Your Excellency Grand Master Chev. Peter Paul Portelli,
It is I who should be grateful to you and to our Confraternity for giving me the opportunity to serve. I am most humbled by this. The relics I was able to obtain through the kindness of the good Franciscan Nuns, the Poor Clares of St Francis who knew I had been trying to obtain the Holy Relics for our Confraternity. We have been helping them rebuild and repair their old monastery and in gratitude obtained the Holy Relics through their Monastery in France from which Mother Superior, Mother Lina had lived and served for 30 years. I sincerely believe this is God's providence to our Confraternity for the good works we are doing.
Please accept this humble gift from the Grand Chapter of the Philippines as a sign of our loyalty and commitment to you our esteemed Grand Master and to the entire Confraternity worldwide.
We serve God by serving the sick and the poor.
All for the glory of God through our Confraternity!
God bless and preserve us!
Faithfully yours,
Chev. Ramon Jose Sebastia-Moreno y Ibarra
