Gozo Bishop Mario Grech has appointed Mgr Anton Borg as the parochial vicar of St George Basilica in Victoria in what he described as a step to bring about “pastoral healing” in the parish.
Mgr Grech said he made the appointment “conscious of my duties… to strengthen the pastoral work of the parish as well as to support its archpriest, Paul Cardona”.
The bishop also said he hoped Mgr Borg’s appointment would put an end to actions that were preventing the archpriest from exercising his ministry as well as ensuring that every parochial initiative was approved by the legitimate authority in the parish.
