Penitential Pilgrimage in the Jubilee of Confraternities offered for the repose of Pope Francis
23/04/2025 The Parish Church of St Catherine, ŻejtunL-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Bħal dawn iż-żewġ dixxipli, aħna wkoll qegħdin f’pellegrinaġġ.

22/04/2025 St John's Co-Cathedral, VallettaHomily by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna
