The feast of St Paul is to be celebrated on February 9 since February 10 is the first Sunday of Lent and the feast therefore cannot be celebrated on that day, the Curia said.

It urged the faithful to hear Mass on that day but said that for this year, this is not a feast of obligation.

The parish of St Paul's Shipwreck in Valletta will celebrate the feast on Saturday, February 16.
