I would like to congratulate Fr Giovanni Cefai Camilleri MSSP who has just completed a beautiful and impressive, much needed building in his poor parish of Arequipa, Peru.

Fr Giovanni has held the position of parish priest for these last seven years and he has always felt the need to build a clinic and a kitchen/dining room for his poor parishioners especially the innocent children and the elderly.

He has further included in the edifice a study centre, a library, offices, youth centre, projection room, cooking school, retreat centre, volunteers' lodging, a chapel dedicated to St Gorg Preca, ambulance garage, funeral service exclusively for the poor, store rooms, and a meals on wheels facility. It is to be inaugurated in the first week of December with Mass and a song and a dance competition.

I have the honour to say that I was with Fr Giovanni all the way giving him moral support from the very beginning of the construction. I thank him for making me part of the facilitator group where I had the opportunity to voice my ideas and suggestions. It was a wonderful experience helping this young priest and I will miss the opening.

At present I am in Malta raising funds to equip the new clinic. If you want to help, you can make a donation to any HSBC bank on account No. 071-151906-050 and ask the bank teller to write "Donation Clinic" and your name.

I further wish him and Fr Victor Zammit ad multos annos as they will both celebrate their ordination soon.

God bless.
