This
is the church where my parents were married, where I was baptized on August 30,
1952, where all my siblings were baptized and received all our sacraments, and
where I served hundreds of Masses as an altar-boy, even in Latin in the late
1950s and early 1960s. This is where I still occasionally celebrate Mass and do
a Holy Hour most mornings, and of course it is very well taken care of by two
enthusiastic young men who decorate it in a beautiful style, not only during
the Christmas season, but also for other celebrations, including the feast of
St Julian, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart, Easter, St Anthony and other seasonal
feasts.
I took these photos to show you just some of its classical touch that
Chris Micallef and Niki Papagiorcopulo have done over the years. I am personally
surprised by some of the artefacts they found hidden in the back rooms and
sacristy. I also wanted to take a good photo of the extremes of Jesus’ life,
with the birth and crucifixion which you can see in one of the photos, a foreshadowing
of what was to happen to our Infant Child.
