Father Carmine Cucinelli to Celebrate 50 Years of Priesthood

 
Congratulations and many sincere thanks to Fr. Carmine Cucinelli, O.F.M., Cap. who tomorrow March 18 marks the 50th anniversary of his priestly ordination.   

This Saturday there will be a celebration in his hometown - Trasacco - in the church where he celebrated his first Mass. In attendance will be approximately twenty friars and two provincials of the Capuchin Order along with his relatives and a small number of friends. After Mass Antonio Bini will make a power point presentation on Fr. Carmine's priestly life and especially on his 17 years at the helm of the Shrine of the Holy Face.

The next day, Sunday,  Fr. Carmine will continue to celebrate the occasion at the Shrine of the Madonna dello Splendore in Giulianova and the following Saturday at the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello.
