On Thursday, June 6, at the church of the general house of Passo Corese, Fr. Martino gives Luigi and Anna Billi the honorary members plaque of the Community. A few days later, on June 9, in Priabona, the same recognition is given to Sante and Franca Randon. These two couples have supported the Community since its inception, dedicating their time, energy, technical skills, friendship, and charity. The text on the plaque acknowledges their merit: "... for the care with which you have contributed to the growth of this Oasis of Peace 'in age, wisdom, and grace'; because you have become a part of this Oasis, of its history, a brick of this unique building that we are and will be."
