Administration Office

In 1976, the Maltese Ecclesiastical Province initiated an administrative reform with the aim of centralising and professionally administering the various ecclesiastical entities. In this way,  the Church would be in a position to undertake her pastoral responsibilities in a better way.  With the assistance of the Holy See, in 1972, a basic document was drawn up to regulate this reform.  The document established a Diocesan Representative Council, composed of representatives of the various ecclesiastical entities, their task being to determine the ways in which to administer the properties of the Church, and a Diocesan Financial Committee, composed of a number of financial experts responsible for the technical aspects of the administration.

Opening Hours

The Diocesan Administrative offices are open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am till 4:30pm.

Booking an appointment by calling on 25906403 is highly recommended.
