The recent developments surrounding the appointment of a new Executive chairperson of the Cannabis Authority confirms our strong reservations, that the Government has introduced legislation with a major impact on society in a hurried manner and without creating effective structures to implement the law.

L-Arċidjoċesi ta’ Malta nediet it-tielet sena ta’ proċess ekkleżjali ‘Knisja Waħda, Vjaġġ Wieħed: Knisja li Takkumpanja’. Dan sar waqt l-Assemblea Djoċesana annwali, fejn instemgħu esperjenzi varji dwar kif il-Knisja qed takkumpanja lin-nies fid-diversi ċirkustanzi ta’ ħajjithom. L-esperjenzi kienu jinkludu akkumpanjament li jsir fl-iskejjel mal-istudenti, l-għalliema, l-ġenituri u l-impjegati; u akkumpanjament fil-parroċċi fosthom mal-familji u ma’ dawk li ġarrbu xi telfa; u akkumpanjament mas-saċerdoti stess.
Dwar il-fażi ta’ akkumpanjament, l-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi, qal: “Il-ħsieb hu li ngħinu biex l-oqsma differenti tal-Knisja f’Malta matul is-sena d-dieħla joħorġu b’inizjattivi kreattivi u siewja fejn jidħol l-akkumpanjament… Read more »

Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless… Read more »
Malta needs to devise better methods of harvesting rainwater due to the increasing scarcity of this “essential component of life” due to climate change, Archbishop Charles Scicluna said.
Speaking during a presentation of a book entitled ‘The History of Water Conservation on the Maltese Islands’ by graphic designer and author Steven Mallia, the Archbishop highlighted experts’ concerns on Malta’s depleted water table and said timely action was necessary to conserve and make better use of the underground water storage facilities built by our forefathers.
The book showcases a vast network of largely-forgotten underground water cisterns and caverns – all excavated by hand – through 500 beautifully presented photos… Read more »
