A Note from our Pastor February 4, 2024

My dear brothers and sisters,

I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us to be part of this Jubilee Year. I thank His Excellency Bishop Ivan Camilleri, for celebrating the inaugural Mass of the Jubilee year on Saturday January 6, 2024 and releasing the Jubilee logo prepared by Mr. Eric Cruz. Our Jubilee year will be a year-long celebration with different events throughout the year!

In acknowledgement that organizing a program of year-long celebrations requires commitment and dedication, I have proposed the formation of several working committees to develop these Jubilee events for the parish throughout this year.

To help with the coordination of these programs, I am pleased to appoint a group of three coordinators, who will collaborate closely with the various working committees. These three coordinators are: Theresa Passanha, Nicola Pereira and Savio Pereira.

They will work with the pastoral team as the Steering Committee for the Jubilee celebrations. Please note that various committees have been formed for the Jubilee Year and I invite all of you to work with them to make this year a year of blessing and Joy to all our families.
