The annual diocesan Marian manifestation, organised by the Legion of Mary and other Catholic groups, was held in Marsalforn last Tuesday. After the recitation of the rosary, Gozo Bishop Mario Grech and other priests led a concelebrated Mass.

The bishop expressed satisfaction at the strong attendance which he said was very encouraging. He said that after receiving spiritual energy from the Eucharist, it was the duty of everyone present to spread the good news to others.

He said that in these modern times, the faithful are called upon to make a conscious choice in favour of a mature faith, no longer dependent on traditions and folklore but on the authentic Christian values of sincerity, compassion and justice.

These should be their guidelines so that they may enlighten the path of others, he added.

The Voce Angeliche choir, led by Grace Vella, animated the open-air function.
