The Saint Augustine Priory of Valletta in collaboration with the Fondazzjoni Soċjo-Kulturali Ambjentali Augustina are approaching the completion of the extensive restoration project of the beutiful Priory on the site that the Augustinian friars owned since the establishment of the new City, Valletta in the late 16th Century. On Saturday 5 October, during the Notte Bianca, the Project was reopened after years of work and restoration both on the exterior facades, but also on several other spaces that will soon be enjoyed by the public while being used for various initiatives. Of particular interest are the remains of the first Church and Priory that were built by architect Glormu Cassar more than 400 years ago and parts of which were found when the garden of the same Priory was recently excavated. Another interesting space is the shelter that was dug during the second world war and in which so many people were given shelter by the Friars themselves.

The response of so many people who visited these spaces on the night of the Notte Bianca was very positive and encouraging. The official opening of The St Augustine Priory Interpretation Center will take place in the coming weeks.

Il-Kunvent ta’ Santu Wistin tal-Belt Valletta b’kollaborazzjoni mal-Fondazzjoni Soċjo-Kulturali Ambjentali Augustina qed joqorbu biex jitlesta l-Proġett ta’ restawr estensiv tal-kwartier li l-patrijiet Agostinjani kienu ingħataw sa mill-bidu tat-twaqqif tal-Belt Valletta. Nhar is-Sibt 5 ta’ Ottubru, waqt in-Notte Bianca, il-proġett infetaħ mill-ġdid wara ammont kbir ta’ restawr li sar kemm fuq il-faccati ta’ barra, imma anke fuq diversi spazji oħra li ser ikunu jistgħu jitgawdew mill-pubbliku waqt li jintużaw għal diversi inizjativi. Ta’ interess partikolari huma l-fdalijiet tal-ewwel Knisja u Kunvent li kienu inbnew mill-arkitett Glormu Cassar aktar minn 400 sena ilu u li partijiet minnhom instabu meta ġie skavat il-ġnien tal-istess Kunvent. Spazju ieħor interessanti huwa x-xelter li tħaffer fil-gwerra u li fih stkennew tant beltin li inagħtaw kenn mill-istess patrijiet.

Ir-rispons ta’ tant persuni li żaru dawn l-ispazji fil-lejla tan-Notte Bianca kien wieħed pożittiv u inkoraġġanti. Il-ħsieb huwa li l-ftuħ uffiċjali tad-The St Augustine Priory Interpretation Centre isir fil-ġimgħat li ġejjin.

As part of the Pastoral Visit he is making in the Diocese of Gozo, on Tuesday 22 October H.E. Mons Anton Teuma visited the Augustinian Community who lives and serves in Victoria. Also present at the meeting was the Prior Provincial P. Leslie Gatt O.S.A.. In the meeting, Mons Teuma conveyed his appreciation for the presence of the religious communities in the Church in Gozo as well as for the service that the Augustinian religious give to the local Church. Apart from the sacramental service in the Conventual Church of Saint Augustine and other places, the Augustinian religious give a regular pastoral service in the Sir Mikelangelo Refalo Sixth Form in Victoria, and in Saint Joseph Home for the Elderly in Għajnsielem. The meeting continued with an interesting discussion that touched on various aspects of the local Church and the challenges it is living in today’s society.
