The Maltese Augustinian Province together with the secretariat for the Augustinian Missions will celebrate a thanksgiving Eucharist on the 30th anniversary of the foundation of the secretariat in 1994. This mass will be held on Saturday 6 April at the Church of Saint Nicholas of Tolentine, Lampuka Street, Tarxien at 6.30pm.

For the last 30 years AMIGOS has offered several young people a missionary experience, in Brazil, Mozambique and Kenya. This year a group of 7 young people together with Fr Mario Abela osa (director of the secretariat) are preparing themselves to do some missionary work in Mozambique. We continue to pray for them and help them in this work that they will do this summer thanks to our donations.

On Tuesday 19th March, the Augustinian friars met at The Santa Rita Priory in St. Julian's for a moment of prayer during Lent as a preparation for the Resurrection of Jesus. Fr Ivan Scicluna ofm Cap led a reflection on the different inner voices found in us. After a short break, the brothers gathered for adoration in silence before the Sacrament.

The Maltese Augustinian Province with great sadness announces the death of Fr. Noe Schiavone OSA who on Saturday 13^th January 2024 went to meet the Risen Lord whom he loved and served so much during his life. Fr. Noe these last few weeks was living in the Dar tal-Kleru (Clergy House) after several years in our Augustinian community in Valletta.

As an Augustinian religious and priest, Fr. Noe lived and served in several communities and for many years he was a teacher at Saint Augustine College. A long part of his life was then spent in Sicily, Italy where he also worked in the Italian Augustinian Province. Back in Malta, in the Community of Valletta, he served as Chaplain of the Monastery of the Augustinian Sisters of St. Catherine.

His funeral will be celebrated on Monday 15^th January at Saint Augustine Parish Church in Valletta at 9.30am. Before the mass the body of our brother Fr. Noe will be laid in the Oratory of Our Lady of the Good Counsel for the last respects of the public. A private burial will then take place in the tombs of the Augustinian Province in the cemetery of Santa Maria Addolorata.

The Augustinian brothers recommend him in prayer so that the Lord may receive him in his mercy and give him the payment of all that he has worked for during his life.
