Children celebrate to mark Fontana feast
Sacred Heart of Jesus feast being celebrated on Sunday
A children’s celebration was organised in Fontana to mark the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus being celebrated on Sunday.
The celebration brought together the locality’s young community in a joyful event. A statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, commissioned by the local council in 2023 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the processional statue, was carried by young children, much to their enthusiasm.
The statue was made by young Gozitan artist Michael Cutajar Zahra.
The celebration included mass by parish priest Simon Mario Cachia, followed by a march along the church’s area accompanied by the Allegro Clefs Band.
Afterwards, children were entertained to games and other activities at the church parvis.
At the end of the celebration, a commemorative colouring book was distributed to all children.
