A group of 27 parishioners of Munxar, led by parish priest Fr Tonio Galea, went on a pilgrimage to Rome to mark the Pauline Year. St Paul is the patron saint of Munxar.
The group visited various churches, including the basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls and the tombs of St Francis and St Clare in Assisi. They also attended an audience with Pope Benedict XVI at Castel Gandolfo and the general audience at the Pope Paul VI Auditiorium in the Vatican.
