L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi

L-istorja tal-Fgura għandha rabta mill-qrib mad-devozzjoni antika lejn Marija. Kien hawn devozzjoni lejn il-Madonna tal-Karmnu sa mis-seklu 18.

Illum, meta qed niċċelebraw it-30 sena mill-Konsagrazzjoni ta’ din il-knisja u dis-sena jaħbat ukoll il-55 anniversarju tat-twaqqif tal-Parroċċa, nixtieq li nħarsu lejn il-messaġġ li tagħti Marija lil din il-komunità… Read more »
