17/03/2024

“Biex infittxu relazzjonijiet aktar umani f’kull soċjetà, inkluża l-Knisja, irridu naħdmu bla waqfien biex niffurmaw individwi maturi u koerenti li, sodi fil-fidi u l-prinċipji etiċi tagħhom, kapaċi jeħduha kontra l-ħażen, u jagħtu xhieda tal-verità b’ittri kapitali”.

The Sacred Family chapel in Birżebbuġa to be restored to its original state

15/03/2024

Il-Kappella tas-Sagra Familja f’Birżebbuġa se titreġġa’ għall-istat oriġinali tagħha wara li l-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar ħarġet permess għal proġett ta’ restawr bi ftehim bejn il-Parroċċa ta’ San Pietru u l-Gvern.

The Archbishop reflects: pulling on the same rope

Lenten Reflection 2024

15/03/2024

For 2024, the Bishops of Malta and Gozo are proposing that as a country, and as Christians, we ought to reflect on the five gifts of God that Dun Karm Psaila, the national poet, reminds us of in Malta’s national anthem: sound judgement, mercy, health, unity and peace. This reflection is particularly significant as this year, Malta celebrates 60 years of independence and 50 years as a republic… Read more »
