The Augustinian Sisters celebrated their 125th anniversary of their presence in Malta with a pilgrimage to Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary. Gozo Bishop Mario Grech celebrated evening Mass animated by the sisters. During his first weekly homily, in preparation for the feast of the Assumption, Mgr Grech encouraged those present, including couples, families and religious, to take their interior life seriously just as Our Lady did.
On behalf of the Augustinian community, Għajnsielem Superior Sister Margaret Vassallo presented Mgr Grech with a picture of their foundress, while Mgr Grech presented Mother Provincial Rachel Ann Frendo with a picture of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu.
In the morning, the sisters visited Tal-Mixta limestone cave, from where they enjoyed the coastal views of Ramla l-Ħamra, followed by lunch.
