New look for website's bulletin archive
In the last few weeks, thanks to the help of our designers at Osprey Services, the bulletin archive section on this website has been added with new features and rendered more accessible in style and easier to handle.A regular service offered by St George’s official website is that of uploading on a weekly basis the parish bulletin in PDF format.And it is there on time, usually before the “hard copies” are printed at the parish office and distributed to the households!

This special time of the year
Lent is such a special time of the year!On a span of forty days, the Church prepares her children spiritually for her “feast of feasts”, celebrated on that greatest night of all: the Easter Vigil.Meanwhile, waiting for the Lord’s deliverance, Holy Mother Church invites us to “keep watch” in prayer, fasting and charity.

"A confessor who gave his time to reconcile man with God", says Bishop
Can. John Scicluna’s gifted talent as an educator of souls and zealous confessor was the highlight of Mgr Mario Grech’s homily at the 78-year old priest’s Solemn Funeral Mass, last Saturday, February 13, 2010, at St George’s basilica.Although it was Carnival weekend, and on the same day the parish was celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, the deceased canon’s close relatives expressed their wish to proceed with the funeral rites the day after his demise.

Shipwreck anniversary follows Pauline Year
February 10 is for our islands a special “national” holiday, since it celebrates the determining event of the bringing of Christian faith to Malta and Gozo by the Apostle Paul in 60AD, thanks to a providential shipwreck which, as Luke relates in Acts 27-28, brought the Roman vessel to our shore.This year the annual religious festival is even more special, being the 1950th anniversary of the Apostle’s three-month stay, which is the reason why Pope Benedict XVI is visiting our sister island in April.
