Fr Martin Micallef, current director of Dar tal-Providenza, made a formal request yesterday to Archbishop Charles Scicluna to start the process for the eventual beatification and canonisation of Mgr Mikiel Azzopardi, the founder-director of Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi.
Mgr Azzopardi – known as Dun Mikiel – launched his home for people with disabilities 50 years ago after receiving a donation of £100.
