Welcome to the Nadur Parish Website |
|
Nadur was separated from the Matrix Church of Gozo (today the Gozo Cathedral) and established as a parish for the eastern part of Gozo, by Bishop David Cocco-Palmeri by a notarial decree dated 28th April 1688. Father Bernard Haber (1689-1705) was chosen as the first parish priest and was specifically detailed to build the parish church on public land on the "Ta' Nadur" hill, donated for such purpose by Fra Gregorio Carafa (1680-1690), a grand Master of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. for a time, parish priest Haber officiated from the small rural church known as Sancta Maria della Cala, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, on the outskirts of the village of Qala. after years, Father Haber moved his parish seat to the newly built church at Nadur that was dedicated to the apostles St Peter & St Paul.
