Thank you, Fr.Joe, for your kindness, understanding and jovial attitude. You were a good pastor to our community. We are very sorry to see you go. We are going to miss you but we are not going to forget all you've done to our parish community. May the good Lord bless you in your ministry for the People of God.

Fr. Joe has been Archpriest of Vittoriosa for the past 9 years. He has worked hard in Birgu among the people and the families and he was close to those who were in most need. He will be greatly missed in Birgu and I thank him for his hard work, dedication, example and friendship. The people of Mellieha have gained a great pastor. Thanks Fr. Joe and God bless
