Curia confirms cancellation of Zejtun feast

The Archbishop's Curia has today confirmed that the Zejtun feast will not take place following the death of Parish priest Eric Overend.

The Curia's decision to cancel the feast of Zejtun was contested by a number of organisations including Banda Beland, Banda Żejtun, l-Għaqda tan-Nar and l-Għaqda tal-Armar.

The local groups had asked the Archbishop to reconsider his decision to cancel the feast and he had accepted.

Parish administrator Fr Gino Cauchi had floated the idea to hold a feast with reduced activities, however following the organisations' insistence for a full blown feast, the Church decided to cancel all celebrations.
