On Sunday, January 16, Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna celebrated the Eucharist at St. Martin’s Church with the Baħrija community. The Archbishop inaugurated and blessed two new bas-reliefs that were installed in the Church just a few days ago.
The bas-reliefs, work of the brave artist Jennings Falzon, were placed one on each side of the altar and symbolize the Eucharist and the Deaconia. That of the Eucharist was in fact placed exactly on the entrance to the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. The other, symbolizing the diakonia was placed on the entrance leading to the sacristy and is particularly linked to the christian value of reaching out to the needy, particularly linked to Saint Martin.
The Augustinians, particularly the Rabat Community, have been serving the Church of St. Martin in Baħrija for the last seven years.
