Papal visit: Curia announces theme, logo competition
The theme chosen for the Papal visit to Malta next April 17 and 18 is a verse from the Acts of the Apostles referring to St Paul's Shipwreck on Malta - "Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island" (27, 26).
The Curia said that theme had been chosen by the Maltese bishops because it showed that God destined St Paul to come to Malta.
The Curia also announced a competition for the design of a logo to be used for the visit.
Those interested in taking part should submit their design on A4 in colour and monochrome and on CD in psd and vector. Submissions should include the name of the artist and a description of the design. Submissions have to be made by December 16 to the organising committee at the Curia.
The organising committee had also invited choir masters to express their interest to form, prepare and lead two choirs to sing during the papal visit to Rabat and St Paul's Grotto and on the Granaries during Mass. Preparations have to start in January.
Choir masters are to indicate their preference and submit scores or recordings. Details have to be sent to the committee by December 7.
More details are available on www.maltadiocese.org or by sending an email to papalvisit@maltadiocese.org

I see you're at the opposite end of "free thinker".
Question everything my friend. It's your life and you'd better take it seriously. Don't live on autopilot or you'll regret it when you're at your last gasp.
The cross is merely a symbol--it does not make one Christian. Also for the eucharist--it is part of a ritual of the Christian religion--it does not make one Christian.
We must stop talking non-sense and try instead to understand.
To go back to what louise vella was referring: yesterday it was uncovered that the Irish Church hid for the past 40 years scandals of child abuses. Priests are human beings and they must be made to marry. It is the system that is wrong and the priests--though doing wrong--are in themselves, victims of the wrong system.
Please be reminded that we live in Malta. Reading and commenting on the scandal of the Irish Church that goes way back 40 years when children were abused by priests--I had to do it on foreign online newspapaers. This is Malta.
