On November 6, the Augustinian Family celebrates the remembrance of the departed Augustinian brethren.

In preparation for this commemoration, on Thursday 5 November at 10am the Prior Provincial, together with several friars, celebrated a mass in the Chapel of the Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery commemorating the deceased friars. In his reflection he spoke on: the beautiful memories that all these brothers have left us; the sense of gratitude that we should all express as we celebrate what our predecessors lived and accomplished; and above all, the faith and hope that should fill our hearts as Christians who are still going through the walk of life. After mass those present paid their respects by visiting the provincial graves. Today the Prior Provincial is going to visit the graves of the friars in the Gozo cemetery.

Between November last year and this year the Province lost two friars: Fr. Richard Attard and his eminence Cardinal Prospero Grech. Although in different dimensions, they both spent most of their lives in service to the Universal Church abroad.
