The news that Malta will have its first saint – the Blessed Dun Gorg Preca – filled my heart with joy.

I am too young to remember Dun Gorg when he was alive, but I have read a lot about him and met people who remember him quite well.

All of them have words of praise for this man who did a lot for the Church and for the community.

I remember my grandfather used to tell me stories about Dun Gorg, the way he behaved, the way he spoke to people and the way he treated everyone. Malta should be proud that Dun Gorg will be made a saint.
