Archbishop Joseph Mercieca has expressed satisfaction that this year he has concluded the formal documentation for the beatification process of priests and nuns who dedicated their work for the good of emigrants, missions and the needy.
In a Christmas message to Maltese missionaries, Mgr Mercieca referred to the causes for the beatification of Mgr Giuseppe de Piro, founder of the Missionary Society of St Paul, Mgr Isidor Formosa, founder of the Ursuline Sisters of St Angela Merici, and Madre Marija Teresa Nuzzo, founder of the Sisters of the Sacred Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Mgr Mercieca also noted the useful work put in by the Synod Assembly.
