The feast of St Francis of Assisi was celebrated by the Capuchin Friars in Victoria last Sunday.
Bishop Paul Darmanin and the newly consecrated Bishop Joe Alessandro, both serving in the diocese of Garissa, Kenya, celebrated Mass at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces. After Mass, the friars presented €550 to the bishops for their mission. The money was collected from parishioners.
Our Lady of Graces outdoor festivities committee secretary Vincent Vella and treasurer George Debono also presented €200 to the bishops.
After the ceremony, the bishops blessed animals on the church parvis.
