The Vittoriosa Historical and Cultural Society recently held its annual luncheon for members and guests at the Maritime Antonine Hotel, Mellieħa.
The society paid tributes to Can. Joseph Caruana, who was guest of honour at the luncheon and who has just ended his term as archpriest of Vittoriosa and will be returning to Mellieħa as parish priest.
The society also thanked historian and novelist Joseph Attard, who presented the society with a copy of his book, The Knights of Malta.
The society was founded in 1954 to promote interest on the history of Vittoriosa and to encourage appreciation of the city’s cultural heritage.
