St George's Parish Office in Victoria, has produced a special card in colour, on the occasion of a 5th of October commemorative handstamp by Maltapost plc, which commemorates the Golden Jubilee of the official announcement of the elevation of St George's parish church into a Minor Basilica by decree of Pope Pius XII.
The handstamp was designed by Anthony Grech, adapting Michael Formosa's 50th anniversary logo.
A Maltapost official will be present on this coming Sunday at the St George's parish centre, Charity Street, Victoria.
The cards, showing the basilica symbols, can also be purchased later from the parish centre priced at €5 for a set of two.
















Prosit ta’ l-inizjattiva… madankollu ma nixtiqux naraw hafna titli ivvintati fuq din il-postcard. Min hu ntiz fl-istorja jaf tajjeb ghal xiex qed nirreferi. Knisja li hi Bazilika ghandha tiftahar li hi Bazilika u bir-ragun! Imma jekk mhix Omm, m’ghandhiex taghmel taghha dan l-unur u privilegg li jixraq biss lill-Knisja Katidrali! Madankollu, prosit lill-kumitat organizzattiv!
