Eric Fenech Pace has been confirmed as lieutenant of the Maltese Lieutenancy of the Grand Magisterium of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

Mr Fenech Pace succeeds Victor Licari, who has been conferred with the rare accolade of Lieutenant of Honour.

Both these appointments were approved by the new Pro-Grand Master of the Order, Archbishop Mgr Edwin O’Brian, who is to be elevated to cardinal in the next Consistory as proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI.

The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a major Catholic Order of Knighthood under the direct protection of the Holy See. This privileged recognition is shared with only one other Catholic Chivalric Order, namely the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
