Santa Venera
The building was donated to the church by the owners who were cattle merchants. The old long arched church was a holding barn with troughs on either side ,so were the other buildings which were used as acinema and bar and storage. This occured around 1947 1948 and so was the catholic action new home at St. Venera. Fr.Michael Camilleri was the priest in charge and Fra. Luigi Sammut was the other incharge of taking care for all the activities of the church. Fr. Michael migrated to australia and the charge was passed to Fr.Justin Sant and Fr. Marian Farrugia. Also it was the Birth place of the Mt. Carmel Collage by Fr. Manoel Gatt. It leaves a lot of memories for me as a St. Venera born and bred as well as an altar boy.
