This charity chosen this year by the president, Joseph Pace, is Caritas Malta, which will be celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Mass at 6pm will be celebrated by the circle’s chaplain, Fr Savio Vella, SDB, and Mgr Charles Cordina. The nuns will be singing hymns during Mass under the direction of their maestro di cappella, Mark Agius.
A reception in the undercroft of the monastery will follow, during which a cheque will be presented to Caritas.
