The Pope's special envoy, Cardinal Ennio Antonelli, celebrated Mass last Sunday at the Collegiate Basilica of St Peter and St Paul in Nadur. The cardinal crossed over to Gozo on a private yacht.
He also visited Munxar and met people at the parish church. On both occasions the charismatic cardinal was given a warm welcome and mixed easily with people.
Cardinal Antonelli was in Malta for the celebrations marking the end of the Pauline Year.
