The Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands celebrated the feast of St Paul's Shipwreck with Holy mass at the Sanctuary of Saint Publius at Rabat, Malta. The mass was celebrated by Senior Chaplain Father Thomas Moore and a good number of members from the Grand Priory and its Gozo Commandary. The account of Paul’s shipwreck and the three-month winter time stay on Malta can be found in the Bible’s Acts 27:27 through 28:11. Nevertheless it is to be noted that the Bible says the storm was in the Adriatic Sea, though Malta borders the Ionian Sea and this is because in ancient times, the Adriatic’s boundaries were considered to extend much further south.

During the Advent period, the Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands in conjunction with its subjurisdiction in Gozo has organised a series of philanthropic activities addressed towards various recipients. The first activity was held on the 3rd December when, in collaboration with the local council of the town of Marsascala, a carol singing public event was organised featuring local town talent supported by the VOICE STUDIO led by Dame MarieTherese Vassallo. The proceeds of this event were targeted to support the AID TO THE CHURCH IN NEED that supports missionary projects in countries where Christians are being persecuted for their faith.
