Fr Nazju Borg officially started his duties as the new parish priest of San Lawrenz on Sunday during a concelebrated Mass presided over by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech.

In his homily, Mgr Grech said it was an important event not just for the parish but for the whole Church in Malta.

The appointment of a parish priest was one of the hardest and most beautiful decisions to take as a bishop. It required reflection, consultation and prayer, he said, outlining the roles of Fr Borg.

The Victory Band of Xagħra and San Girgor Band of Kerċem took part in the celebration to mark the event.
