After the death of Fra Giacomo Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto (died April 29th), the Grand-Commander Fra Ruy Gonçalo do Valle Peixoto de Villas Boas assume the acting leadership of the SMOM, and will run the Order until the election of the next Grand-Master.
Although the election of the new Grand-Master usually takes place within three months after the vacancy, due to the Covid 19 pandemy, it is expected that the election will take place in Rome only next November, when the General Chapter hopefuly could gather and c. 60 knights can travel to elect the new G-M.
Fra Ruy Villa Boas was born in Oporto on November 27, 1939.
