Kulħadd huwa mistieden biex jieħu sehem f’din il-Quddiesa.

4. Nirringrazzja lil kulħadd għal-laqgħat sbieħ li qegħdin tagħtuni fiż-żjajjar u t-tberik tal-familji. Qiegħed personalment niltaqa’ mit-Tlieta sal-Ġimgħa bejn it-3.30 pm u nidħol lura ghal xi 7.30 pm. mal-familji kollha ħa jkolli stampa aktar ċara tal-parroċċa tagħna. Il-ħin tal-Uffiċċju nhar ta’ Ġimgħa, sakemm jintemmu ż-żjarat, se jkun fil-għodu bejn l-10.00 u nofs in-nhar.
