The idea regarding the possibility of the translation of the remains of holy priest
Dun Karm Cachia from the cemetery to the Parish Church had been brewing for
the last few years especially through the initiative of Canon Carmelo Cini, Canon
Cantor of the Għarb Collegiate Parish Church and a member of our parish’s clergy.
The idea became a reality on Saturday the 19th of October. The remains of the
holy priest who passed away in 1950 were put in a wooden box and put in the
cemetery for the people’s veneration for an hour, between 4.30 and 5. 30 p.m.
Then the translation with the remains began at 5. 30 p.m. Many parishioners
walked as the Rosary was recited and the Archpriest Rev. Reuben Micallef led the
procession. At 6. 15 p.m. Bishop Mario Grech presided over the Mass and various
priests concelebrated. During his homily Bishop Grech spoke about the need for
vocations to the priesthood and the holy life that Dun Karm led. Dun Karm Cachia
used to spend many hours of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. After the Mass,
the remains were interred in altar of the Holy Rosary. Written by: Fr. Geoffrey G. Attard. Image by: Matthew Vella (More images can be found on our facebook profile - Zebbug Gozo Parish) |
