Parish dedicated to Saint Lucy
The locality of Mtarfa, formerly part of the parish of Rabat, had a considerable increase in the population during the last years. For several years the church of St. Lucia served the pastoral needs of the people residing at Mtarfa; with the departure of the British military forces St. Oswald’s chapel, which was the chapel of the military hospital, was used instead. It was declared an Automomous Pastoral Zone on 19th April 2000, and was declared a parish on the 8th December 2004.
