The Day of Life was marked last Sunday at Għajnsielem parish church. Bishop Mario Grech celebrated Mass which concluded nine months of prayers by the parish for spiritual adoption.
During the homily Mgr Grech said man could not appreciate the gift of life if he did not believe in God.
After Mass, Maria Attard, director of Dar Ġużeppa Debono, the Għajnsielem house that caters for mothers-to-be, presented a painting by Mary Rose Saliba to Għajnsielem archpriest Canon Frankie Bajada.
In the evening Mgr Grech also celebrated Mass at Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary where he blessed expectant mothers.
