The Magisterial House of the Federation of Autonomous Priories of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem - Knights of Malta ( KMFAP ) has the pleasure of informing that Rev. Monsignore László Szakál ( in Religion he adopted the name of Monsignore Ladislaus Joannes ), of the Roman Catholic Parish of Velky Meder, in Slovakia, has given us the honour of accepting to become Member of our Ecumenical Council.

IBSSA and its partners have started a series of events in cooperation with the Budapest Gas Works in order to prevent gas explosions as well as accidents involving gas stoves and propane cylinders. The first presentation took place on the 24th June at the International Knights' Club of the Sovereign Order of Knights of Malta (KMFAP).

As all of our Knights and Dames were informed by Circular Letters, recently The Federation of Autonomous Priories of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (KMFAP) lost two very dear Knights: H.E. Sir Paulo Teixeira Jorge, former Minister of External Affairs of the Republic of Angola, and the famous Hungarian tenor Sir József Kovács.

It is with deep sorrow that The Magisterial House announces the decease in Hungary of our beloved brother and Vice Minister for Cultural Affairs of the Government of our State, Sir József Kovács K.C.M..
