We were invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for
the new reading library in Acrieale that we supported on December 1 as our
“Light the World” service. The Sigonella Branch and our missionaries moved
books, paintings and cabinets from the city Library to a new designated reading
space right on the main square of the Duomo.
The Cardinal from Palermo was the official that actually did
the ribbon cutting and blessed the building with ‘holy water” to boot! This particular Cardinal is currently retired
but was involved in the elimination of some Mafia shenigans in Palermo during
the late 90’s. There were actually two
judges that were executed “Mafia Style” during this entire ordeal.
The Mayor of the City and the Academic that was responsible
for this project presented a certificate in English that actually expressed
gratitude to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This turned out to be a service project to be remembered.
