1. The General Assembly at the beginning of the social year for the Catholic Action Movement was held at its HQ in Victoria. Diocesan Ecclesiastical Assistant Mgr C. Hili spoke about St John M Vianney and led opening prayers. After Diocesan President Manuel Saiba gave a programmatic talk, young members from various parishes rendered a couple of songs.

Bishop Mario Grech led a concelebrated Mass with twelve other Assistants, animated by Bernardette Vella’s Gharb guitar group. At the end of Mass, George Cassar presented Mgr Grech with a copy of his new book of collected writings. Outgoing General President J Pullicino then introduced her successor: Mrs Carmen Agius.

The last part of the two-hour programme was a feature written and produced by Ganninu Cremona which included readings and acting, with the support of powerpoint projections by the Formosa family.

2. A concelebrated mass at the National Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Ta’ Pinu, Bishop of Gozo Mario Grech formally handed a number of mandates to lay persons who take an active part in liturgical celebrations. These included lectors, cantors, animators during mass, and ushers.
