Gozo Bishop Anton Teuma is meeting many categories of people during this period of Lent, including, professionals, public and private entities, such as doctors, lawyers, architects, teachers, workers, and others.

On Monday, the Bishop met with members of the Gozo District Police Force at the Victoria Police Station. They included Superintendent Joseph Hersey, the Police Chaplain of Gozo Mons. Paul Cardona, Inspector Josef Gauci, members from the Police Office, District, RIU, Trades, MT Garage, Traffic Section and Community Policing.

At the end of this meeting, the blessing of the new altar, made by members of the Gozo Police Force and embellished with mosaics by Rev. Roberto Gauci, took place in the Police Chapel of the City of Victoria.

To mark the occasion, the Chaplain Mons. Paul Cardona presented a relic ‘ex corpore’ of Blessed Giuseppe “Pino” Puglisi, a priest of the Church of Palermo who was killed in 1993 on his 56th birthday, by the Mafia because he had condemned Mafia organised crime in Sicily. The beatification of Pino Puglisi took place on the 25th of May 2013 in Palermo.

This relic was placed by Bishop Anton Teuma under the altar.

Superintendent Joseph Hersey, on behalf of the Gozo Police Force, thanked the Bishop of Gozo for this meeting, as well as the Chaplain Mons. Paul Cardona for the gesture.
