After over 50 years as parish priest of the Greek Catholic Church, I would like to thank and wish Papas Vito Borgia a very happy retirement back in Palermo. He will be lovingly remembered by many as a scholar, a man of culture and, above all, a man of God. Surely, the restoration of the unique and priceless icon of Our Lady of Damascus remains his most valid contribution to the cultural patrimony of these islands.

By nature being of a very humble and quiet disposition, Papas Vito was always very pleased to welcome people and show them around the Greek church. He will be missed by many. We are indeed very fortunate that his sterling work will now be continued by the new parish priest, the likewise gentle and erudite Papas George Mifsud Montanaro.
