ReplyDeleteHello Fr. Julian, My friend has been forwarding me your post, I so enjoy reading them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday.
My mom was born in St. Julians in 1918, later moved to Sliema. We all came to NY in 1965 after my father retired from the Police Dept. My mom couldn't adjust to NY so they went back to Malta. I lived in Canarsie Brooklyn. I believe it was around 1970"s that Father Augeniu { don't know if I spelled it right} he was my confessor at Sagra Cuor church in Sliema. I have been living in California since 1982, NY was getting to be a dangerous place to live back then now the whole country is getting dangerous.I miss Malta so much, I was booked to go last week but I guess because of Covid they cancelled my Pet on board.
I just wanted you to know that I have been enjoying your postings.
Take care, God Bless,
Irene Posti
