| On Thursday, 28 June 2001, the Embassy of Malta | in Rome once again co-ordinated an evening of activities for the Maltese community in Italy, to mark the recurrence of Mnarja 2001. |
| This year, the event was held at the Collegio | Internazionale Santa Monica, that is adjacent to St. Peter’s Square. Over two hundred members of the Maltese community in Italy participated. |
| A Concelebrated Mass in Maltese was followed by a | reception and an exhibition of the photographic works of Rev. Prof. Prosper Grech. |
| Welcoming participants, Malta's Ambassador to Italy, | Dr Joseph Cassar, said that this was the second consecutive year that the event was being organised. Auguring that this would become a traditional annual appointment, Ambassador Cassar said that as the Maltese Community in Italy grew, it should also take a more structured form. The setting up of an Association would help identify and cater for the social and cultural needs of its Members. |
| A fund-raising draw in aid of the Malta Community | Chest Fund was held, during which prizes donated by various sponsors were raffled. |
