The only way to truly love God is by loving others, especially those in need. Our faith finds its strength through charity. There is a lot of good in the Church of Gozo and Malta, and this is shown through the solidarity that we give to those in need.
I would like to thank all those who help us in our missionary work in Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle. Special thanks go to Mission Fund, the Mission Office of Malta and Gozo, Gesu fil Proxxmu and Fundazzjoni U, which have given us a special helping hand. All the donations received will be used to maintain the social services that our parish offers to the poorest of the area of Iquitos. Among these services is a night shelter, an AIDS clinic, an elderly peoples' residential home and a rehabilitation centre.
If anyone wants to contribute to help us in our work, please send a donation to 7A Grunju Street, Nadur, Gozo (tel. 2155 6375). I promise you all my prayers.
