The Feast dedicated to St Fortunatus was held on Sunday 15th November 2015. It started with the Collegiate Chapter singing the Vespers of the Saint. This was followed by a ceremony during which adolescents individually presented a petition addressed to the Bishop to have them bestowed with the Sacrament of Confirmation next year. They handed this to Archpriest Mgr Carmelo Refalo and then each one received a cross from either Archpriest Emeritus Mgr Eucharist Sultana or the Parish Vicar Fr Joseph Bajada.
