The Bavarian Province with its Provincial, Brother Rudolf Knopp, hosted the Order's Finance Commission on 10-11 April 2024, which this time met exceptionally in Munich instead of Rome.

The meeting was chaired by Brother José Augusto Gaspar Louro, the Bursar General, who travelled from Rome together with Commission members Dr. Antonio Barnaba from the Rome Province and Dr. Pietro Cacciarelli from the General Curia. They were accompanied by their interpreters Mr Klaus Mutschlechner and Ms Isabel Castilla. Dr Dolores Saenz from the Spanish Province arrived from Spain.

Austria was represented by the Director Adolf Inzinger and Director Peter Ausweger. Brother Rudolf Knopp and Administrative Director Ansgar Dieckhoff attended representing the Bavarian Province.

In addition to preparing the budget and financial statements of the General Curia, the Finance Commission plays an important role in the financial supervision of the Order's centres around the world. One of the main items for discussion was the overall increasingly complex and difficult situation of health and social services in Europe.
