Fra' John Edward Critien (born 29 September 1949) is a member of the Sovereign Council of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta[1] and a member of the Chapter of the Grand Priory of Rome.[2]

Early life and career

Critien was born in Sliema, Malta, the younger son of Major Frank Edward Critien and of his wife May Grech.[3] He received the degree Bachelor of Arts from the Royal University of Malta and then pursued further studies in Italy at the University for Foreigners Perugia and at the University of Pisa.[3] He lived in Pisa for 22 years and taught English language and literature at a private school, the Scuola Mondolingue.[3]

Order of Malta

Critien was involved in the development of volunteer youth groups for the Order of Malta in Pisa and in Florence.[4] In 1983 he was admitted as a knight of the third class in the Grand Priory of Rome.[4] In 1993 he made perpetual religious vows as a Knight of Justice.[4]

Critien was elected to a five-year term as a member of the Sovereign Council in 1994.[4] From 1994 to 2000 he lived at the Order’s headquarters in Rome, Palazzo Malta, and was responsible for the Order's library, archives, and art collections. In 1999 he organised an exhibition in Malta of fine bookbindings from the Order’s collection in Rome and from the National Library of Malta. In July 2000 Critien was appointed Knight Resident at Fort St. Angelo, Malta, a position he currently holds.

In September 2001 Critien was promoted to the rank of Knight Grand Cross of Justice and in 2012 to the rank of Bailiff Grand Cross of Justice, the first ever Maltese to hold this grade in the Order.[4] He was elected to a second five-year term as a member of the Sovereign Council in 2014.[4]

In December 2016 the Prince and Grand Master Fra’ Matthew Festing appointed Critien Grand Chancellor ad interim after removing {{ill| Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager |de| Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager}} from that office. On 14 December the Sovereign Council confirmed Critien's appointment.[4] On 28 January 2017 the Sovereign Council, after accepting the resignation of Fra' Matthew Festing as Prince and Grand Master, annulled Critien's appointment as Grand Chancellor ad interim and restored Boeselager as Grand Chancellor.[5] Critien remains a member of the Sovereign Council.
