As we head towards Summer time we would like to thank the people who took the time to visit our website.

If you can, please continue to visit the website but also visit our church in person.
Please pray for those innocent people trapped in war stricken areas of the world.

In loving memory of Jean Douglas, who, upon retiring from teaching, decided to give more back to the church she loved, St. Mary Magdalene´s. She learned to write code and built and maintained this website for around 25 to 30 years, constantly updating and modifying the content to include more people and bring joy to the lives of those in other countries as well as those who could not attend the church in person. This was especially vital during the COVID-19 pandemic when travel was restricted and people depended on the site for news from the church. With around 70,000 to 90,000 hits per year, she reached and brought joy to many people.

17th June 2024 − The family would like to thank all of those who today attended both in person and online, the requiem mass for Jean. We would particularly like to thank Father Loretu Tabone who travelled from Malta and of course Father Jock

St Mary Magdalene

St Mary Magdalene is the patron saint of women and was one of the disciples of Jesus. When Jesus was crucified, she followed the soldiers to see where they burries the body of Jesus.

On Easter morning, Mary Magdalene, with two other women, went to the tomb where they planned to anoint the body of Jesus, but there they found that the tomb was empty and an angel there told the women that Jesus had risen and was on his way to heaven. The women were the first people to see the risen Lord.
