The Vicar-General, Bishop Annetto Depasquale (deputising for the Arcbishop, Mgr Joseph Mercieca, who is on a routine visit to Rome for a few days), yesterday evening led a concelebrated thanksgiving Mass at St John's Co-Cathedral to mark the approval by the Holy See of the statutes of the Neo-Catechumenal Way. Malta has some 90 communities of the Way in 26 parishes, and about 3,000 members in all, many of whom attended the Mass.
