As part of the celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the Malta Olympic Committee, a thanksgiving Mass was celebrated yesterday at the Oratory of St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta.

The celebrant was Mgr Lawrence Gatt, Director of id-Dar tal-Providenza. In his homily he congratulated the MOC and those connected with sport in these islands. The offerings included a copy of Lewis Portelli's book 'Minn Ateni ghal Sydney', in which Malta's participation in the Olympic Games is fully recorded.

At the end of the Mass, MOC president Lino Farrugia Sacco presented Mgr Gatt with a specially minted medal commemorating the 75th MOC anniversary as well as a token donation to id-Dar tal-Providenza.
