The Pro Sanctitatae Movement in Gozo marked Bishop Nikol Cauchi's 79th birthday with a concelebrated Mass led by Mgr Cauchi together with Gozo Bishop Mario Grech and a number of priests at the Good Shepherd church in Victoria last Sunday.

After thanking God for His help, Mgr Cauchi thanked those present and all those who had expressed support over the years.

Mgr Grech wished him more years of service to the diocese. The first reading was read by the assistant superior of the MUSEUM society, Pauline Grech. Tarcisio Gauci, a member of the Legion of Mary, read the second reading. The Vicar General, Giovanni Bosco Gauci, read the gospel. The people's prayers were read by Mgr Cauchi's sister, Terezina Cauchi.

Following Mass a small party was held in the church annexe, where Mgr Cauchi cut a birthday cake.
