Dr Charles Delia, SJ, who passed on to eternal life only a few weeks ago, officiated at their wedding at St Julian’s parish church. They were soon gifted with an adorable son, Jürgen, who is married to Laura. The lovely young couple are now parents to Nick and Steffanie, who have inherited so many lovely traits from their parents and grandparents. Deo gratias et Mariæ.
