That is, to read what happens and then make decisions… Read more »

The Archdiocese of Malta has joined hundreds of others in objecting to a development application that would see a Żejtun townhouse dating back to the 18th century replaced by an apartment block that would dwarf its neighbour: the 17th century St Clement’s Chapel.

PA/6418/22 would see the existing townhouse – and its garden – which occupy a triangular plot at the junction between Triq San Klement and Triq Joe Attard torn down and replaced with a five-storey structure which would house ground-floor garages and a single office, nine apartments and a  penthouse… Read more »

L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

“Ġesù, Bin David, ikollok ħniena minni” (Lq 18:38). Din hija t-talba li beda jgħajjat dan l-għama li kien mal-ġenb tat-triq jittallab il-karità, u li għamilha meta Ġesù kien għaddej minn din it-triq riesaq lejn Ġeriko.
