A special mass is celebrated every four months at St. Anne’s Parish Church in Marsaskala for couples expecting a child. This mass offers a moment of prayer for blessings upon the mother and baby, seeking the intercession of St. Anne, the protector of mothers and unborn children.
The upcoming mass will be held on Sunday, November 24th, at 11:30 am at St. Anne’s Parish Church, Marsaskala.
As part of tradition, candles—meant to be lit during childbirth as a prayer for St. Anne’s protection—are available at the church. New parents are also invited to bring their newborns to give thanks and seek blessings from St. Anne.
