Hajja Salesjana July September 2018

In 1967, the Community of the Sliema Oratory, which since 1921 had been separated from that of St. Patrick’s, was again joined to the same. This enabled a reorganisation in view of the setting up the new community in Dingli. In 1991 the Oratory community was again made a separate canonical community and remains so till this day. In 1974, the confreres working in Malta were asked to propose a set of rules to govern the formation and running of the Provincial Delegation in Malta. A working group of four confreres was set up to draw up a report on the proposals received. The working group presented its report on the 25th April 1974. Now everything was ready to choose the first Provincial Delegate. In 1972, the Salesians started an activity similar to the worldwide LDC. They called it LTN, short for ‘Librerija Taghlim Nisrani’. It is a shop of religious books and other religious articles. It started in Dingli, continued in Sliema where it is still at present. For some years it had a branch in Valletta, which is still running but not by the Salesians. 26 History Of The Maltese Salesian Delegation
