I am Sister Nicholina Aquilina, known in religion as Sister Marie-Bernadette Aquilina, a Poor Clare Sister from the community of the Sisters of St Clare (Klarissi) at St Julian’s, living in Alexandria, Egypt helping our Poor Clare Sisters because of lack of vocations.

Two years ago, they started to build a new monastery, which is still under construction. They are the only community of Sisters in Alexandria and their presence among the Muslims and members of other religions is beneficial. We love the people and share with them the spirit of Jesus and all the Christian values. We are deeply loved and respected by them. They live a poor life.

In the monastery at Alexandria, we need help for our daily upkeep. Without your precious support, we will not be able to finish our monastery. Please, do continue to help the Mission Fund by sending them used stamps and telecards at: “Eureka Court” Blk.A. Flat 6 (Ground Floor), Main Street, Mosta, MST 1018 Tel 2141-3664.

It would also be of great help if you were to help financially. If any one is inspired to help our Sisters in Alexandria, you can contact Mother Rose Therese Ellis at St Clare’s Monastery, Mikiel Anton Vassalli Road, St Julian’s SGN 9040. Tel 2138-3341. She will give you our bank account number to send your donation through the bank for safety reasons.

Dear Benefactors, God will surely reward your kindness by sending fresh blessings upon you and your families. We assure you of our daily prayer before the Eucharist without forgetting your dear departed ones.
