Catholic Church in Egypt congratulates four new deacons
The ordination ceremony took place at the Cathedral of the city of Como, Italy, according to the Catholic Church Diocese in Egypt.
The Catholic Church Diocese in Egypt said on 19 September 2026 that Bishop Claudio Loretti, the Latin Church Bishop in Egypt, participated in the ordination ceremony of four new deacons at the Cathedral of the city of Como, Italy.
The ceremony included the ordination of Deacon Anselmo Fabiano and Deacon Lorenzo Bongio, the church said. Both men previously participated in the Apostolic Vicariate Youth Jubilee conference in Borg El Arab, Egypt, during August 2025 alongside other church youth.
Deacon Anselmo Fabiano belongs to the Society of African Missions (Société des Missions Africaines), the church said. He is expected to return to Egypt soon to study the Arabic language and continue his priestly journey and apostolic service in Egypt.
The Catholic Church Diocese in Egypt said it extends its sincere congratulations to the new deacons, their monasteries, and their families. The diocese asked the Lord to accompany them with His grace, bless their vocation and service, and make them faithful witnesses to the Gospel in their mission.
