Over 2500 children who attend schools in Gozo yesterday morning attended a special Mass in the Parish Church of Ghajnsielem. President de Marco and Mrs de Marco also participated in this special Christmas Mass, celebrated by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Gozo, Mgr. John Bosco Gauci.

After the Mass, the President and Mrs de Marco were taken to the parish square where a live crib was being exhibited. The President was then presented with various donations by the schoolchildren in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund. The mayor of Ghajnsielem, Mr. Franz Cauchi, also presented a donation by the Local Council of Ghajnsielem.

President de Marco thanked the children and all those who contributed to the Malta Community Chest Fund. The President said that it is appropriate that during Christmastime people spare a thought for those in need, those same people who, throughout the year, the Malta Community Chest Fund seeks to help
