29th September\u00a0 <\/span>2018 –\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Following last year\u2019s shift from June to September for this event, it was again decided to hold the outing in September due to popular demand.\u00a0 We hosted 90 special guests together with their families and were assisted by 31 volunteers.\u00a0 Following an early start we all set off on the 9:00am ferry from Cirkewwa, in Mgarr we were greeted by 2 coaches and 3 wheelchair vans, 2 of which were from Dar Tal-Providenza.\u00a0 <\/span>Mass was held at the Xewkija Church which is the religious seat of the Order in Gozo, which was celebrated by Fr. Brendan Gatt and Mons. Paul Vella\u00a0 After a lovely service the group headed down towards Marsalforn where they were treated to tea and coffee.\u00a0 <\/span>Following some free time and a walk along the promenade, we moved on to The Calypso Hotel whereas always a lavish lunch was served.\u00a0 The group made their way back to Mgarr Harbour and returned to Malta with the 4:30 pm ferry.\u00a0 The cost of this special outing was sponsored by CASUMO Services Ltd, without whose kind contribution would not be able to treat our dear patients to such a lovely day.\u00a0 Special thanks also goes to Chris Galea and the OMVG who assisted us throughout the day and helped in the planning of this trip.<\/p>\n\n
