Arcivescovo di Udine to nominate Claudio Dagli Orti as new parish administrator of Prepotto

The Archbishop of Udine will appoint Capuchin friar Claudio Dagli Orti as the new parish administrator for Prepotto. This decision follows an agreement with the superiors of the Santa Croce Venetian province.

The Prepotto parish includes the villages of Oborza, Ciubiz, Cialla, Fragielis, Craoretto, Cladrecis, Chiazzacco, Centa, Albana, Codromaz, and Prepotischis. Father Dagli Orti, a member of the Castelmonte Capuchin community, succeeds Father Andrea Cereser and Father Paolo Cocco, who both moved outside the Archdiocese of Udine.

Father Dagli Orti was ordained a priest in 1991. His previous roles include serving as a vicar in Chioggia, a hospital chaplain in Mirano, and a missionary in Angola for five years. Since 2001, he has worked in infirmaries for the Capuchins in Basano del Grappa, Conegliano, and Rovereto. He most recently served as the superior of the Capuchin community in Conegliano before moving to Castelmonte in September 2026.
