One year after his death, members of the Servants of Mary celebrated a special memorial Mass for Father Faustino Gazziero De Stefani, who was murdered in the sacristy of the Cathedral by a 24 year-old member of a Satanic cult.
The Mass was held this Sunday and was celebrated by Father Bernardino Savilla, Provincial of the Servants of Mary religious order.
“One year after his martyrdom, we desire to turn our eyes to the Lord and thank Him for the life and service of Father Faustino, who was always concerned about educating our young people and children in the values of our Christian faith,” the invitation to the Mass noted.
“Before the signs of death that seem to dominate our society,” the invitation read, “we, the servants of Mary, wish to reaffirm our faith and trust in the God of life, who guides our history.”
