(Adds Audio) In actual fact Gozo is the home land of the new Bishop Mgr. Joe Bonello OFM.  During his stay in Gozo, various activities took place.  One of these various activities took place at the Gozo Cathedral on Saturday evening where Mgr. Bonello celebrated the Eucharist together with the Bishop for Gozo Mgr. Mario Grech, and the Apostolic Nuncio Tomaso Caputo. The second activity took place on Sunday morning at his native home town Xagħra. On his arrival at Xagħra, he was welcomed by the local band club which led the way to the Parish Church.  He was greeted by the Parish Chapter, and the Mayor of Xagħra after which a Pontifical Mass was celebrated.
