Order of St John of Jerusalem of
Rhodes and of Malta
On June 22, H. E. Ms. Ursula Hoefter Zuccoli, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Sovereign Order of Malta to the Republic of Bulgaria, gave a reception on the occasion of the birth of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of the Order of Malta.
From the beginning of the year the Embassy started a collaboration with Italian Union of Enterprises - Confindustria, to promote different activities for disadvantaged children.
The Catholic Church in Bulgaria has opened the doors of its structures and the Order has decided to help Ukrainian refugees. We have sent donations for those housed in the city of Rakovski, 30 km from Plovdiv and in Russe where Caritas runs a crisis centre where Ukrainians stay while waiting to find better accommodations.
