From what I can piece together, the Knights were subsequently involved in a restoration of the Oratorio. Then in 1996, ownership reverted back to the archdiocese of Palermo. Some guide books indicate that the Knights built the Oratory but I cannot find any independent proof of this. Please feel free to contribute any information which might unravel this mystery.
