During the short visit of His Holiness to Malta, various friars took part in activities and visits that were planned for this short but very beneficial occasion.  During his holiness’s visit to St. Paul’s Parish Church in Rabat, many of the local friars had the opportunity to greet him as his cortège passed in front of our Franciscan Church.  On Sunday morning many of the friars took part during the celebration of the Eucharist at the granaries. Deacon Stephen Magro OFM had the privilege of reading  the Gospel during the meeting with the youth of Malta which took place at the Water Front Valletta.  He also had the unique opportunity to exchange a brief chat with the Pope.
