A thanksgiving Mass was celebrated by Fr Edeodato Schembri, prior of the Augustinian monks in Gozo, to commemorate the 250-year-old painting of Our Lady of Good Council at St Augustine Church, Victoria. The painting by a Roman artist arrived at the convent on October 4, 1765. It was damaged in 2007 when silver decorative items attached to it were torn away from the canvas and stolen. It was eventually restored by PrevArti Co. Ltd under the supervision of Pierre Bugeja.
