Last Friday in a letter, Mgr Mario Grech, Apostolic Administrator for Gozo appealed to all the priests of the diocese to “commit themselves to make a contribution of not less than €100 towards this fund with which we will buy a ventilator estimated to cost around €50,000.”

During the Mass ‘In Cœna Domini’ at the Gozo Cathedral on Thursday evening, Fr Daniel Sultana, Pastoral Secretary of the Diocese, announced that so far almost €36,000 had been raised in the Diocese.

In his letter Bishop Grech urged “Parish Priests, Rectors, Convents and Church Schools in Gozo to do the same by dipping into their common funds.”

He also made the appeal “to all Christians to show their generosity and donate their share to this initiative. Everyone according to his means: those who can only afford a little should give a little, whereas those who can afford more, should give more.”

The Gozo Diocese advised that those wishing to help are encouraged to make their donations by one of the following means:
