The Commission was created by Pope Francis in 2015 to help
health care organizations belonging to the Church and to Church organizations
to manage their finances and stay true to their founding mission and spirit.
It has the mandate to carry out general studies to ascertain
the sustainability of the healthcare systems of the juridical persons of the
Church, and to prepare long-range operational sustainability strategies in
keeping with the Social Doctrine of the Church.

(FAS) of the Holy See, is confirmed as President of the Pontifical Commission.
The following have been appointed as members of the

of constitutional law at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan;
Professor Giovanni Barbara, professor of commercial law, attorney; Professor
Saverio Capolupo, tax magistrate; Dr. Fabrizio Celani, national President of
the Catholic Association of Healthcare Workers; Dr. Maurizio Gallo,

activities of the Commission. Sister Annunziata Remossi, O.M.V.F., official of
the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic

A statement from the Holy See Press Office notes that “the

and managers in the sector, bearing in mind previous experiences; delegate part
of its functions to one or more members; and create Sub-Commissions.”
Greetings to the outgoing Commission
Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin
expressed his deep gratitude to the outgoing members of the Commission for
their service, which he said, was carried out with competence and generous
availability. He also outlined indications and suggestions for starting a new
phase of the activity of the Pontifical Commission, so that it may be more and
more authoritatively and effectively at the service of the world of Catholic

it. In light of the current healthcare emergency, underlined Cardinal Parolin,
these are tasks that have lost none of their relevance and urgency.
