Title: Don Guzepp Diacono (1847-1924), priest Abstract: Guzepp Diacono was born at Victoria, Gozo on the 16th August, 1847, son of Angelo and Maria nee Cassar, in a house in Via di Casal Garbo, today 71, Sant'Ursola street. He was baptised on the same day at the Parish - today Collegiate Basilica - of St George by the vice-Parish Priest Dun Lawrenz Cutajar. The child was given the names Guzeppi, Antonju, Serafinu and Gorgi. His god-parents were Wigi Bezzina and his wife Giga. When he was nine (30th October, 1856) he received Confirmation in the Collegiate Matrix - today Cathedral - of Gozo by H.L. Mgr Giuseppe Maria Bravi, Bishop of Sri Lanka. God-parent was Ganni Borg. After his studies at the Seminary, on the 4th March 1870 the deacon Guzeppi Diacono was ordained in the Cathedral of the new diocese of Gozo by H.L. Mgr Anton Grech Delicata, Bishop of Gozo (1867-77). The new priest was the 29th of the new diocese erected in 1864. Guzeppi's brother, Francesco, also became a diocesan priest. [excerpt]

Title: The Senglea Good Friday procession Abstract: One of the 19 Good Friday Passion processions is held at Senglea. The date of origin of this procession is still unknown but it certainly goes back as far as the year 1714, by which time five such processions were being held on the Island, two of which within walking distance from Senglea, namely at Vittoriosa and Cospicua. The procession came into being through the efforts of parish confraternities which were instrumental in creating devotion towards the Passion of Our Lord. The confraternity of Our Lady of Charity had a chapel built inside the Senglea Parish Church sometime before 1616. It was affiliated to the Roman Archean fraternity and its members carried out various works of charity. The Agony Sodality was established in 1640 with aims similar to those of the Charity Confraternity, so much so that at a later date the two Confraternities were merged into one. Many of the activities of this Confraternity, which at one time was facing serious problems, were taken over by the Holy Crucifix Confraternity set up in 1715 and by 1725 these two Confraternities were also amalgamated into one.
