• Joseph
Sciame, National President, Order Sons of Italy
in America
The
Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA) extends its
congratulations to Pope Benedict XVI.
I had the honor
of meeting the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger several
years ago. He impressed me as a man of deep faith,
conviction and brilliance. For all of
these reasons, I am convinced under his leadership
the Roman Catholic church will thrive.
Ad multos annos!
Mr. Sciame currently is in Italy
for a series of meetings celebrating OSIA’s
100th anniversary and recognizing the contributions of early Italian immigrants.
Mr.
Sciame is the Vice President of St. John’s University,
which has a Rome campus near the Vatican.
