This assignment also marks the change of Province of the community of Castel Gandolfo, because after many years of pastoral care by the Central Italy Circumscription (ICC), and previously by the Roman Province (IRO), the community with all its pastoral activities now passes directly under the coordination of the RMG communities to allow a greater and better organization of all the houses that carry out their activities with the Holy See: the Vatican community, the community of the catacombs of San Callisto and now also the pontifical parish of Castel Gandolfo.
The installation took place in the Pontifical Church "San Tommaso da Villanova" (Church of St. Thomas of Villanova) in Castel Gandolfo, during which several other Salesians, including the Vicar of the Rector Major, Fr Stefano Martoglio, the Provincial of the Central Italy Circumscription (ICC) Fr Stefano Aspurati, the Director of the Community of the Salesian Headquarters, Fr Jean-Claude Ngoy Wa Kayumba, and other religious of the Salesian communities were present.
Fr Rosmuz will also be the Parish Priest of the pontifical parish of Castel Gandolfo.
Fr Tadeusz Rozmus has been present in Italy since 2006 when, after his six-year term as Provincial of Krakow (PLS), he was called to Rome by the then Rector Major, Fr Pascual Chávez, as the Rector of the Salesian house of San Callisto. He was then Rector at Perugia and, for some years, also worked in the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy. The GC27 elected him as a member of the General Council responsible for the Central and Northern Europe Region (2014-2020).
On the occasion, the Rector Major also thanked the outgoing Rector, Fr Enzo Policari, underlining his great generosity and experience as the Rector and Parish Priest of the Salesian communities - Rome-Don Bosco, Rome-Borgo Ragazzi Don Bosco, Rome -Sacro Cuore, Civitavecchia and finally Castel Gandolfo - and thanked also Fr Aspurati and all the Salesians who in recent years had worked with great dedication in the service of this pontifical parish.
The celebration was completed by a moment of sharing and fraternal meal.
