The singing priest delighted those present with a repertoire of modern songs in a spirit of entertainment and spiritual reflection.

PRAISE YOU, the first concert organized by Missio Malta with the extraordinary participation of the popular singing priest Fr Rob Galea, was a success, as the Sir Temi Zammit Hall at the University of Malta was packed for two evenings, on October 4th and 6th, 2024.

Those present had the chance to listen to Fr Rob Galea, along with his band, performing songs like Coming Back, Mulej f'Idejk, and Something About You. Moments of spiritual reflection and contemplation for modern life completed the experience.

In a comment after his performance, Fr Rob said it was truly a blessing from God that these concerts provided a moment of prayer as well as entertainment for all those who attended. "I feel grateful that through these two concerts, we experienced beautiful moments together while taking a break from the routine of life. It was a wonderful occasion to not only enjoy beautiful music and hear stories of spiritual experiences but also allow God to work in us and in our lives," said Fr Rob, who delivered performances of songs with spiritual messages, both original works and popular pieces from the praise genre.

Fr Rob Galea, a Catholic priest, was raised in Malta but has been serving in the Diocese of Sandhurst in Victoria, Australia, for the past several years.

The Director of Communication and Fundraising at Missio Malta, Robert Farrugia, expressed his satisfaction with the success of PRAISE YOU, which was the first of its kind organized by Missio Malta.

"Through this concert, Missio Malta continues to introduce innovative and fresh ways to spread the Gospel message to a wide range of people. Missio's work is not limited to missions in distant countries but is also active in Malta."

"We were honoured to have Fr Rob Galea for these two concerts. Not only is he an internationally renowned artist, but he is also a modern Christian role model. Through his strong evangelization, Fr Rob spreads the positive message of the Gospel and Missio to young audiences, and those young at heart," continued Robert Farrugia.

As described in his song "Coming Back," inspired by the parable of the Prodigal Son, God is always there with open arms to welcome his children back.
