The Church authorities have confirmed their decision to cancel the feast of Zejtun following the death of Archpriest Fr Eric Overend.

The decision follows a request by Banda Beland, Banda Żejtun, l-Għaqda tan-Nar and l-Għaqda tal-Armar to the Curia for the feast to be held as usual.

Their request followed a proposal by the Church authorities through parish administrator Fr Gino Cauchi for a feast with reduced activities.

The proposal was made after the Archbishop was requested to reconsider his decision to cancel the feast and he accepted.

Following the organisations insistence for a full blown festa, the Church authorities decided to cancel all celebrations.
