Għażiż Prof. Scicluna,

Proposta Baġit 2020: Studju Nazzjonali dwar il-propjetà

Bħalma għamlet fis-snin li għaddew, il-Kummissjoni Interdjoċesana Ambjent (KA) qiegħda għal darb’oħra tistieden lill-Gvern biex iniedi studju nazzjonali dwar il-propjetà.

Din hija r-raba’ sena li l-KA qed tħeġġeġ lill-Gvern biex jerfa’ r-responsabbiltajiet tiegħu u jniedi tali studju li jkollu l-parteċipazzjoni sħiħa tal-istakeholders kollha fit-tfassil tat-terms of reference…

L-omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
Il-Knisja ta’ San Franġisk, ir-Rabat, Għawdex
3 ta’ Ottubru 2019

San Franġisk hu qaddis popolari. Kif issemmih, ħafna mill-ewwel iġibu quddiem għajnejhom il-paċi, l-ambjent, il-faqar. Dan bir-raġun, għax San Franġisk hu xhud ta’ kif tkun strument tal-paċi, kif tirrispetta l-ħolqien, u ta’ kif tgħix il-faqar u tħobb u tgħin lill-fqar…
