A new painting of former parish priest Vincenzo Cauchi by Paul Camilleri Cauchi was added to the portrait gallery of past parish priests at Xaghra parish church.

Fr Cauchi was parish priest between 1761 and 1814. He died in 1814 while carrying out his duties among the inhabitants of Xaghra who were ravaged by plague.

The present parish church was the brainchild of Fr Cauchi. It was designed by his nephew Fr Salvatore Bondi.
