Tas-Sliema (Our Lady Star of the Sea)

  • Tas-Sliema became the summer resort for Valletta people in the middle of the 19th century; at first the small church of Our Lady of Divine Grace was sufficient for the needs of the people resident there, but when the population increased a new church was built in 1854 and dedicated to Our Lady Star of the Sea. Later on the church was enlarged and in 1878 Sliema became a parish. During the last century, other parishes were established in Sliema: Sacro Cuor parish, St. Gregory’s and Jesus of Nazareth.
