  • Konkatridral ta’ San Ġwann, il-Belt Valletta
    21 ta’ Settembru 2014

    This year, the Independence celebrations take on an added value as we commemorate  fifty years since our people took responsibility for governing their own nation.  To our credit, since that time, we have made giant steps as a nation.  For this we thank God; we also thank Him for the fact that Malta achieved its independence without any shedding of blood.
