MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 324 June 2020 1
MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 324 June 2020 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 324 June 2020 The Black Menace - When the Maltese Migrants were pushed back from Australia by Billy Hughes In 1916, Malta was a poor island, heavily caught up in WWI. It was “the nurse of the Mediterranean”, taking care of 80,000 wounded soldiers, a lot of them Australian. They were shipped in from Gallipoli and other European fronts, where Maltese men were fighting on the side of the British Empire themselves. For a small place, with only a little over 210,000 inhabitants, Malta went above and beyond, and many Australian returned soldiers were grateful. But that didn’t help the Maltese in 1916. When the Gange arrived in WA, Australia was in the grip of a referendum on conscription. Labor Prime Minister Billy Hughes, whose enthusiasm for the war had earned him the moniker “the little digger”, had become worried when the zeal to enlist had dropped off after alarming news of tens of thousands of deaths had been published. His solution was to try and see if he could force men to join the military, but for that he needed the permission of the Australian people. On the 28th of October 1916, there was to be a referendum that asked if they were okay with that. In the lead-up, the country had been split down the middle. Scared of conscription were the unions, who feared that with their members away at the front, their jobs would be taken over by women, or even worse, coloured people. -

H.G. Mgr. Charles J. Scicluna Archbishop of Malta Archbishop's
H.G. Mgr. Charles J. Scicluna Archbishop of Malta Archbishop’s Curia FLORIANA FRN 1535 13 May 2015 Request for the opening of the Process of the Cause for the Beatification and Canonisation of Mgr. Mikiel Azzopardi, Founder of Id-Dar tal-Providenza and Apostle of the Divine Providence. Your Grace, It is twenty-eight years to the day that the Lord graciously called to His side in heaven Mgr Mikiel Azzopardi, a Maltese priest graced with love and tremendous pastoral zeal for the people of God. The Lord entrusted him, with the gift of the ministerial priesthood, so that through it he could bear evangelical witness especially through his special love towards the sick and persons with disabilities. He had an extraordinary faith in Divine Providence and a great love for the Blessed Virgin Mary. To a large number of people, Mgr Azzopardi was known for his holiness. As the current Director of Id-Dar tal-Providenza, the Home founded by Mgr. Mikiel Azzopardi fifty years ago, I therefore humbly request that the necessary preliminary research for his beatification and canonization be embarked upon. Mgr. Mikiel Azzzopardi was born in Valletta, Malta on 10th February 1910, of Toninu Azzopardi and Amalja neè Galea. He was baptised three days later at the Parish Church of Our Lady of Porto Salvo in Valletta. Mikiel received his First Holy Communion at the age of 6 years from Archbishop Dom Mauro Caruana OSB at St John’s Co-Cathedral and a year later he was confirmed by the Auxiliary Bishop of Malta, Mgr. -
