Dar tal-Providenza’s telethon Festa ta’ Ġenerożità, paused for two years to the COVID-19 pandemic, is once again being held on Sunday under a big tent purposely set up in the home’s parking lot in Siġġiewi.

The telethon, which continues until midnight, started off with Mass celebrated by Archbishop Charles Scicluna who praised the generosity of the Maltese during l-Istrina and urged that same generosity during the Festa ta’ Ġenerożità.

The opening, which included the traditional Christmas homily by a boy and a girl, was attended by President and Mrs George Vella.
