Missier Twajjeb
Issa li kważi ser jagħlaq sentejn fil-ħidma tiegħu, nistgħu nsejħu lil Papa Franġisku Missier Twajjeb! U forsi hawn min jistaqsi: x’jagħmlu hekk? Franġisku min-natural tiegħu jħobb ikun qalb in-nies: qalb l-ulied tal-Missier li l-istess Missier fdalu f’idejh.

60 Years On…
Sixty years have passed since the first student teachers entered the gate of Mater Admirabilis Training College at Tal-Virtù.
