Armed Forces Of Malta Honoured With Thanksgiving Mass On AFM Day
Members of the Armed Forces of Malta (AFM), led by Brigadier Clinton J. O’Neill, attended a thanksgiving Mass this morning at the “Christ the King” Basilica in Paola as part of the Armed Forces of Malta Day celebrations.
The concelebrated Mass was led by Auxiliary Bishop Monsignor Joseph Galea Curmi and included the participation of the AFM’s Chaplain Lieutenant Fr. Sergio Fenech, together with chaplains from the Corradino Correctional Facility, the Malta Police Force and the Civil Protection Department.
The congregation was attended by the Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Employment, Byron Camilleri, along with members from the various divisions of the Armed Forces of Malta.
The ceremony began with a guard of honour, followed by the formal presentation of the Armed Forces’ flags, which were carried into the Basilica and placed near the altar during the celebration.
“Days like today are the perfect occasion to celebrate the vital work carried out by the men and women of the Armed Forces of Malta. We thank them for their service and for the sacrifices they make daily to ensure the safety of our country. It is in this same spirit that we have worked to improve their working conditions and strengthen their rights through the best sectoral agreement the AFM has ever seen,” said Camilleri.
During the Mass, Monsignor Joseph Galea Curmi reflected on the dedication of the AFM members, noting that, “They are a clear example of what can be achieved when we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to serving others.”
Thank you for your service
