Malta today celebrates Republic Day, and the President of the Republic, Dr. Edward Fenech Adami, on behalf of the Government and people of Malta, pays public tribute to a number of Maltese citizens who distinguish themselves in different fields.

This morning Fr. Dyonisus Mintoff OFM was one of these people by giving the Republic Day honour for his numerous works in the religious and social field of the Maltese society. The celebration takes place at the Palace, Valletta. We would like to wish every success to Fr. Dyonisus in the coming future.
