History In Pictures 2

More photos from years gone by, kindly provided to us by Fr. Eddie Pace ofm who is also in the photos and remembers well when they were taken. These photos were taken in the 60s. All of them, save for one, were taken at our Church and friary in Rabat.

One may notice the good number of students in formation those years. The choir of the Franciscan students under the direction of Fr. Victor Camilleri ofm and in another photo, during a concert under the direction of the late Mro. Anton Muscat Azzopardi, held in the church of St. Mary of Jesus, Rabat, in the presence of the late Archbishop Sir Michael Gonzi. Another photo depicts the students in the care of the Master of Students the late Fr. Peter Paul Mailaq ofm in the central courtyard of the same friary in Rabat. The remaining photo was taken at St. Francis friary in Hamrun. In the centre one may see the late Fr. Marjanu Vella ofm and Fr. Daniel Azzopardi ofm. Any body who can identify the friars in the photos, is kindly invited to comment.

Anybody who would want to contribute photos that record our past history during the last one hundred years of presence in the islands, is most welcome.
