- Today, our parish pays tribute to Chief Justice Emeritus J.J.Cremona who died a month ago, with a mass at 11.00am for the repose of his soul. Tomorrow, Monday, the Victory Band shall be offering the 6.30pm mass for the repose of the soul of Mr Colin Apap, who was an Assistant Director and Mr Joe Spiteri, a benefactor of the Band.
- During this time of Pandemic, we should appreciate more daily Mass; first of all because the world needs a lot of prayers and secondly because the social distancing in church means we may attend more safely.
- We proceed with the Wednesday devotions for this year dedicated to St Joseph. Next Wednesday Rosary is at 6.00pm followed by the chaplet and Eucharistic benediction. Mass at 6.30 pm includes the second of a series of reflections about St Joseph by Mgr Lawrence Sciberras. On Thursday during the Eucharistic Adoration at 7.00pm we pray for Vocations and holiness of priests.
- Today, Sunday specially dedicated to the Word of God, Seminarian Matthew Bajada of Għarb shall be receiving the Ministry of Lectorate from the hands of Bishop Anton Teuma, at 10.00am at Ghasri parish church. We rejoice with his family and promise him our prayers.
- It’s time for the Candlemas collection. This is the only collection to help the church with her huge expenses. As you know, this year for three months, the church did not get any offerings due to the lockdown. On next week’s bulletin you will find information about the cost of the new apparatus we bought for Radju Bambina. We are also carrying out the professional restoration of the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows. So, please save for a generous offering, everyone according to his means.
