In my adoptive neighborhood in Rome, at my adoptive parish, there was a young man named Gaetano Tinnirello. He lived rough, in the streets, and often was at the doors of my adoptive parish Ss. Trinità dei Pellegrini, the Vetus Ordo parish in Rome, to beg alms of those who came and went.
Gaetano died in the hospital yesterday of a pulmonary infection.
One of the FSSP priests went to the hospital to visit and to give him Last Rites.
Tomorrow at 1500h (Roma – CET) they are celebrating a Solemn Requiem Mass for Gaetano.
The parish has assumed all the expenses for the return of his body to his home province Reggio Emilia so that be can be buried by his family. The expenses will be from Euro 2000-3000.
When Ss. Trinità needed funds to install a baptismal font, you were there.
That was for the beginning of Christian lives.
Will you help at the end of a Christian life, too?
Make a donation.
It’s November, friends. Pray for Gaetano and please make a donation to this good cause. Help the Roman parish.
It is a corporal work of mercy to bury the dead.
