A delegation from Circolo San Giuseppe Filarmonika Sagra Familja, Kalkara, recently attend­ed the second day of the Novena in the parish of St Joseph in Valguarnera, Sicily, as part of the liturgical feast of St Joseph.

The delegation, made up of president Noel Mallan, secretary Duncan Brincat, band affairs delegate Mario Attard and member Etienne Camilleri, participated in a Mass. They held official meetings with the Amici della Musica local band’s committee, particularly on the subject of twinning the two musical bands and future cultural exchanges. During this visit, the society’s delegation also held talks with the local St Joseph feast committee under the direction of Marco Rizzone, and with parish priest Fr Vincenzo Ciulo.

The delegation also attended one of the rehearsal concerts given by the Amici della Musica band, as well as a dinner held in their honour.

Valguarnera committees will be sending their delegations to Malta in the coming months, so as to strengthen this cultural exchange.
