To celebrate Children’s Day, Fr Guardian Joe Caruana celebrated Mass at the Franciscan church in Għajnsielem with the participation of children.

The United Nations established Universal Children’s Day in 1954 in a bid to promote togetherness among children across the world and improve children’s welfare. It is celebrated on November 20 to mark the date that the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by the UN in 1959.

After Mass, Fr Joe blessed the children and gave them a bag with sweets.
