Archbishop reaches out to Attard parishioners

Archbishop Paul Cremona yesterday started a week-long visit to Attard by celebrating Mass, followed by a meeting with parishioners.

"I am dedicating this time so that, with the Lord's help, I may strengthen your life of faith," Mgr Cremona told parishoners, adding that he was also keeping close to his heart those who had moved away from the Church.

"If I am not able to reach them, I want to encourage you to look after them," he said.

For the rest of the week, the Archbishop will be holding meetings with commissions, priests, religious and lay people in Attard, as well as visiting the local primary school and catechesis centre.
