«In your last wishes you could also think of the church of Sesto» : the appeal addressed to the parishioners by Don Enrico Maggi, archpriest of Sesto ed Uniti, in the province of Cremona, causes discussion.

For some time the prelate has been trying to raise the necessary funds for the restoration of the roof of the parish house and for the redevelopment of the statues on the facade but, faced with an expense of 1 million 114,325 euros and offers that are arriving with a dropper, he even thought to play the last card of the will . With that appeal that calls for a last generous gesture before death.

«A testamentary bequest - explains the priest - would write a new page in our adventure. It is not a trivial thought, nor so strange: those who have loved their parish family have always understood the value of generosity that continues for the good of future generations and those who have small or large possibilities can choose to stay in the family even after leaving from life, it is a gesture of love that will still sow so much good».

His invitation, published in the parish newspaper, divided the faithful. Some are convinced that Don Enrico did well: «Those with substantial funds in the bank and no direct heirs could really lend a hand to their country». And there are others who, on the other hand, believe the don's appeal is excessive: "The parish priest must use the parish's money and get it from those who have it, not ask everyone, even those who may have to think hard about the future." of their children".
