The Order of St John is deeply saddened to hear that H.E. the Lieutenant of the Grand Master Fra’ Marco Luzzago had passed away. He spent a lifetime of service working for the interests of the Order of Malta, and in devotion to our lords the sick and the poor. We share the widespread admiration and respect he enjoyed throughout the world, and keenly feel the sense of loss the Sovereign Order’s leadership and membership must be feeling at this difficult time.

On behalf of all members of The Most Venerable Order and our Grand Prior we present our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to all in the Order of Malta, and to the family and friends of His Excellency Fra’ Marco Luzzago.

Prof. Mark Compton, Lord Prior

We join our partners and friends in the Sovereign Order in offering prayers for the repose of his soul and may light eternal shine upon him. 

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
