We will miss you Fr Reuben. Thank you for all the hard work at Mtarfa and your total dedication towards those most in need of any form of support. You also did great with the youths; hope the next one will give them as much attention and care as you did. Good luck for this next mission.

Fr Joe Mifsud was loved by the 'bormlizi', as he was a father for every member of the comunity for the last 17 years. We will pray for Fr Reuben, so that he can be an instrument in God's hands for the spiritual well being of this parish.

Thank you fr. Joe you will be deeply missed. The departure of Fr Joe from Bormla is a big blow the the Bormlizi. He was the first archpriest not from Bormla but we managed to make him Bormliz.
