I'm writing this letter to all of you who keep in touch with your "roots" by way of the parish website. We have started a New Year and though it's a bit late in time, I would like to wish you all peace and well-being. We are going through some tough times. Everyone here speaks of crisis, default and all that one can imagine in the economical sphere. As Christians, our faith vision should keep our mind above and beyond mere economics. We are not mere money-gainers, and money-spenders. Whatever we go through, Christ is with us and we must feel his presence. God bless you and may you meet him in your daily dialogue with Him!

Welcome to the Nadur Parish Website |
|
Nadur was separated from the Matrice 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.
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time B “On the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught.” (Gospel). |
