After his visit to our Parish Church on the occasion of the feast of St. Rita, H.E. Archbishop Mgr. Charles Jude Scicluna presided over the installation of Fr. Alexander Cauchi O.S.A. as the new Parish Priest of the Augustinian Parish, Valletta where our brother has been serving as Administrator for the past few months. Present circumstances do not permit that the beginning of this ministry be celebrated in the Parish in the manner that such an occasion merits.
Fr. Alexander was born in St. Julians on 16 June 1971. After a one-year novitiate at Tolentino, Italy, he made his first profession in our Augustinian family on 13 September 1991. Then on 13 November 1994 Fr. Alexander made his Solemn Profession and priestly ordination on 18 October 1996 and he carried out various pastoral duties which we carry out as Augustinians.
Amongst these, one should mention his work at Rabat; Hal-Tarxien and in the St. Augustine College. For a number of years, he also carried out duties within our Augustinian community as Vice-Parish Priest of our Valletta Parish and also as the Prior, a position he still holds.
From our hearts we wish Fr. Alexander Cauchi a fruitful mission in God’s field whilst we promise him our prayers.
