Għasri Local Council will be organising the annual cultural event relating to our community's heritage on Saturday, 23rd September 2023. Part of the event will include an exhibit of antique statues. Those who would like to participate can contact Mr. Sammy Saliba on 79204517.
The updates on the two infrastructural projects which are currently ongoing at our parish are as follows:
- There are no new updates on the parish church's roof restoration. Collections during the first weekend of each month will go directly to this infrastructure project.
- There are no new updates on the cemetery works. However, those who would like to reserve a new grave are kindly requested to contact the parish.
Notes from the Diocese:
- Prospective couples interested in initiating or continuing their two-year Catholic Marriage Preparation Meetings are encouraged to approach the parish (Fr. Eddie Vella) for the application process. Couples should apply for these meetings, irrespective of whether they have set a wedding date yet. The meetings are scheduled to commence on the last weekend of September. Gozitans who live on the main island of Malta will be able to attend the course in Malta rather than Gozo as the same meetings will be offered both in Gozo and Malta.
