The Church in Malta in a statement on Monday has called on everyone “to carefully observe the directives on the prevention of Covid-19 for the protection of our health and that of others. This is true also for Mass in churches.”

The Church reiterated that for this year it is organising the feast in the parishes and in other churches with a Mass and pilgrimage only.

It stressed that other activities, such as marches, “are not responsibility of the Church but of the organising body and of the civil authority which authorise them. In the case of marches the responsibility lies with the band clubs and the Police.”
