Other Churches
Church of St Catherine, known as the Church of St Gregory
Originally the church was built in the 12th century but the present church dates from 1492: today it serves the pastoral needs of the people living in the area. Formerly on the 12th March each year a procession left the Cathedral Church and proceeded to this church, but later on the day of the procession was changed to Wednesday in Easter Week. Several suggestions have been made with regard to the origin of this votive procession, but in recent years Fr Michael Fsadni O.P. found a document in the Notarial Archives which state the procession was due to a request by the Pope for prayers for peace in all Christian countries, and bishop Cubelles of Malta therefore instituted this procession, which today starts from the church of St. Clement on the outskirts of Zejtun.
