Franciscans of the Immaculate at Benevento suppressed

The Franciscans of the Immaculate Institute at the Church of San Pasquale in Benevento,Italy has been closed  according to information received at Messainlatino.

The Franciscans of the Immaculate had for many years been permitted the Traditional Latin Mass at Benevento followed in recent times with daily Eucharistic adoration.
 
They were stopped from offering the Traditional Latin Mass but now even the presence of the religious community at Benevento has been removed.
The Franciscans of the Immaculate were there at Benevento since  June 22, 1990, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. They were installed there by  Archbishop Carlo Minchiatti with the approval of the Holy Father who signed the decree establishing the Institute of Diocesan Right of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. On the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, there was the profession of  vows of about 30 religious.
