Grech will arrive at the Franciscan friary and will be met by the Guardian and the friars. After prayers with the fraternity he will have lunch with the friars. Later on he will talk privately with all the Franciscan friars. At 5.15 pm he will meet the members of the Secular Franciscan Order and the Piccola Famiglia Francescana (PFF). He will also dedicate some time to visit the sick in their homes.

At 7 pm the Bishop will solemnly enter the church of Saint Anthony and preside over a concelebrated Mass with the friars and faithful. A reception will follow in the friary and finally Bishop Grech will meet the Franciscan Youths (GIFRA).
