Our Lady of Miracles in mourning. A sudden tragedy shakes the Basilica of the Marian sanctuary of Motta di Livenza and the community of Friars Minor.
He passed away on Monday 23 December during his afternoon rest brother Giulio Barocco. The bells of the sanctuary have been rung and it is a rarity for Motta.
It was the brothers who discovered it and called for help in desperation. Everything was useless.
Father Barocco was a friar very well known in the religious environment and one leading figure in theological education. He was director of the secretariat and deputy general secretary of the Pontifical Antonianum University of Rome (Termini area) until the 2021-2022 academic year. He was born in Arcole, in the province of Verona, on 11 May 1949; he made his solemn profession on 17 December 1972 and was ordained a priest on 30 August 1975.
«The commitment made by Brother Giulio is commendable tireless dedication and admirable spirit of service in favor of the Pontifical University Antonianumalongside many general secretaries and many magnificent rectors, from Professor Martino Conti, who held that position from 1987 to 1993, to Professor Agustin Vidales, currently in office” we read in a note from the Pontifical.
I funeral will be celebrated on Friday 27 December at 10.30 at the Madonna dei Miracoli basilica sanctuary in Motta di Livenza in the province of Treviso.
«The entire academic community of the Pontifical University Antonianum – continues the note – unites in prayer and in grateful remembrance for the long and qualified service offered by Brother Giulio Barocco with commendable experience and competence: may the Lord welcome him into the Celestial House, console his loved ones and bless his Franciscan province.” Brother Giulio leaves behind a sister and a brother.
