Archbishop Scicluna Recovers in Malta After Successful Surgery Abroad

Malta’s Archbishop Charles Scicluna has returned to our shores, convalescing after a successful surgery abroad. The news, confirmed by the Curia, brings a sense of relief to the local Catholic community, eager to see their spiritual leader back on his feet.

Surgery and Recovery Abroad

The Archbishop underwent surgery earlier this month in a private hospital in Rome, Italy. The procedure was successful, and the Archbishop has since been recovering in a comfortable and peaceful environment, surrounded by loved ones. The Curia, in a statement, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and prayers from the Maltese public during this time.

“We are grateful for the many messages of support and prayers we have received,” the statement read. “We ask the faithful to continue praying for Archbishop Scicluna’s swift recovery.”

Archbishop’s Role in Malta’s Catholic Community

Archbishop Scicluna, a native of Birkirkara, has been a prominent figure in Malta’s Catholic community since his appointment in 2019. He has been instrumental in addressing various social and moral issues, always keeping the best interests of the Maltese people at heart.

His absence, though temporary, has been felt across Malta’s 69 parishes. From the bustling streets of Valletta to the quiet villages of Gozo, the Archbishop’s leadership and spiritual guidance have been missed. However, his return is eagerly anticipated, with many looking forward to his continued service and leadership.
