The Diocese of Cerreto Sannita-Telese-Sant'Agata de' Goti has a new head of its charitable arm. Bishop Giuseppe Mazzafaro has appointed Don Saverio Goglia as director of the diocesan Caritas for a five-year mandate.

The appointment was reported by NTR24 and confirmed by the diocesan website.

Goglia is parish priest of San Michele Arcangelo in Amorosi and director of the diocesan communications office. Permanent deacon Salvatore Carlo has been named deputy director.

The announcement also included thanks to the outgoing director, Don Giuseppe Di Santo, for his service to the diocesan Caritas.

A ministry of service and attention to new poverty

In comments accompanying the appointment, Goglia described the role as a ministry of service centered on concrete care for others, with particular attention to "new forms of poverty."

The wording points to the pastoral direction of the mandate: not only emergency assistance, but listening, accompaniment, and responsiveness to changing social needs across the diocesan territory.

The local Caritas network

The diocesan Caritas works within a wider local network addressing poverty, fragility, inequality, dignity, and social inclusion in the Benevento area.

Its diocesan directory lists operational sites in Cerreto Sannita and Sant'Agata de' Goti, with published contact details for people seeking information or assistance. Readers should note that the online organisational listing still showed Giuseppe Di Santo as director and Saverio Goglia as deputy director at the time the research was gathered, an apparent lag behind the newer appointment announcement.

That local work also connects with broader diocesan social initiatives. Recent reporting by AgenSIR has highlighted the iCare community cooperative, which is active on fragility, poverty, inequality, dignity, and social inclusion in the Benevento area, illustrating the social-welfare context in which the new Caritas leadership takes office.
