Thank You For Your Hospitality
Dear Monsignor Valentino, I write to express my appreciation for the good missionary hospitality you gave me and Fr Kizito during the time we visited Malta earlier in June 2022. We enjoyed our stay and were very inspired by all the activities we were engaged in. Missio Malta remains for
18
me an inspirational Missio that has empowered me with missionary animation skills and missionary solidarity spirit. Moreover, visiting Malta is always a blessing for me, also because of your rich Catholic faith and history. Despite the fact that the number of Catholics attending mass is going down, still, I do see and experience and smell the Catholic faith in the Maltese people and culture. There are many Catholic faith lessons I learnt from the Maltese people through the Missio activities and the visits to various sites, like the churches, cathedrals, chapels and other historical sights
and archives. I also appreciate so much the financial support you give to the Church and people of God in Malawi through various Missio projects and through the Mass Intentions you share with me and fellow priests. For all these, I thank you most sincerely and ask God to continue blessing you, Monsignor and all the Missio staff, volunteers, partners and Maltese people who are so generous and living their faith‑in‑action. I am now getting busier every day as we start preparing for the October Mission Month and World
