Fifty years. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing Amazing.
On Thursday 2nd May 2019 the Carmelite Sisters in Cospicua celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Religious Profession of Sister Maria Anna of St Gabriel.
Fr. Martin Borg OCD, the Chaplain, celebrated mass in the Choir of our Monastery.
A simple private celebration to celebrate this momentous event – fifty years of cloisted life.
Sister Maria Anna joined the Carmelites in Cospicua half a century ago. She originally hails from B’kara and is a niece of the late Bishop Adeodatus.
Only God knows how many souls have been rescued through the dedicated life of prayer and penance of this Sister.
