On October 8, the Don Bosco Oratory of Victoria presented a new musical in Maltese about the mystic life of St Pio of Pietrelcina.

Patri Piju – the musical is based on the writings of the saint as well as on witnesses’ stories given during the canonisation process of Padre Pio. A cast of over 100 actors, including singers and dancers, took part in the two-hour musical.

Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi was present for the premiere. The musical will be staged again today at 2.30 p.m. and next Saturday at 7.30 p.m. Tickets may be obtained from the oratory, by calling 2155 6616 or 9948 7751 or by e-mailing donbogo@gmail.com.
