By means of these pages we would like to acquaint you
with one of the finest churches in Valletta (Malta), with its history,with its grandeur, and with its parish life.
St Dominic’s
is one of the three parish churches in Valletta, the others being St Paul
Shipwrecked, and St Augustine’s.It
was erected as a parish in 1571 by the Dominican Pope, Pius V.
Throughout its varied history it has contributed
greatly to the advancement of the local population, thanks to the ever-present
community of Dominican religious aided by various committed lay-people.
This parish boasts of many renowned personalities who
were born, baptized and lived in its confines.Among these special mention must be made of two of the first
three Maltese blessed beatified by the late Pope John Paul II on the 9th May
2001: Bl. George Preca, founder of the Society of Christian Doctrine (commonly
known as M.U.S.E.U.M), and Bl. Ignatius Falzon.
In spite of it’s being one of the oldest parishes
on the Island, St Dominic’s does not
miss the opportunities offered by modern means of communication in order to
spread the Gospel.In 1996, the
parish began operating a Community Radio.Now
the time appears to be ripe for the launching of this website.Besides communicating information about the parish, we intend to use this
web-site as another means of bringing the Word of God to the people, a mission
which St Dominic of Guzman made it the essence of the Order of Preachers which
he founded and of which this parish forms part.
