The sad news of Fr Donat Spiteri’s demise spread in San Ġwann on December 19. He was mourned by the majority of San Ġwann residents.
Fr Donat was a learned priest, full of wisdom, yet so very humble. His aim was always to teach the Holy Bible, helping people in need and bringing joy and peace with his sense of humour. San Ġwann parish owes a lot to Fr Donat.
He formed the Lourdes Klabb, Gruppi Familji Nsara and the church choir among others. He always found some time to be present in all activities. The parish centre was his monument built with funds and donations. This centre is attended daily by prayer groups, cathechism classes and parochial meetings. Fr Donat was a small priest with a big heart and full of energy. Now I am sure he is enjoying his reward in the glory of God in Heaven.
Thank you Fr Donat for all you did to our parish, and please keep a watch over us from Heaven above.
