On this third day of Kwaranturi, the eve of the feast of Christ King of all Universe being celebrated at Nazzarenu, the program of the last two days was followed from 6.00 a.m. till 7.00 p.m. The celebrant at today`s Mass was none other than Fr. Ignatius Borg ex Rector of Nazzarenu Church and currently Parish Priest of the village of St. Lawrence. Co-celebrating with him was Can. Joseph Sultana with Rev Deacon Richard Nazzareno Farrugia participating. Deacon Farrugia hails from Nazzarenu and so it is no wonder that he also carries the name of Nazzareno. Assisting them was Seminarian Simon Cachia who is attached to the Parish of Xaghra on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings as part of his pastoral training. Mr. Noel Theuma animated Mass while the Voci Angeliche choir under the direction of Mrs. Grace Vella, accompanied by Seminarian Mario Curmi on the organ, animated the singing. After reading the Gospel, the Rev. Deacon Farrugia delivered the sermon. The prayers of the faithful were read by Mrs. Frances Busuttil and Mr. Joseph Azzopardi. A few members of the congregation had to follow the service from outside the Church, on the parvis, as all seating space inside was taken up. Before Mass came to an end the Rector thanked all those taking part. He had special thanks to Fr. Ignatius Borg recounting how much he worked hard during his long term as Rector of Nazzarenu Church. Fr Borg will be remembered for the embellishment of the Church for the betterment of the faithful in their fulfillment of the Liturgy. In reply, Fr. Ignatius said that he always treasures his term as rector of Nazzarenu Church and wherever he went he always carried the Church and all the community close to his heart.
