Generosity on Charity Day

On behalf of Central Office Ejjew Għandi (Children's Homes), I would like to thank the ad hoc Committee of the Church Secretariat for Social and Charitable Action (Caritas Malta Council) for organising once again this year's Charity Day (April 6).

The staff at Central Office, the administrators of all Church residential homes for children in difficulty, the child day-care centres and the shelters for domestic violence are very grateful to the parish priests and the rectors of filial churches for encouraging their congregations to contribute generously during this annual collection, which for the second year running fell on the Day of the Lord, the forthnight after the solemnity of Easter. A big thank you naturally goes to all those who offered their financial support and those who helped in kind. We promise you all our daily prayers.

I also thank the media which promoted this event by publishing editorials and articles in the printed press and putting up discussion programmes on radio and television. God will never forget your generosity and initiative.
