Dun Victor touched hearts nationwide through radio programmes and charity work, with the latter being his work for 50 years.

Bishop Charles Scicluna wrote: “The Church in Malta mourns the death of Mons Victor Grech, a priest and benefactor of our nation who selflessly dedicated himself to Caritas Malta and forged its mission and its vision for decades. May he rest in peace!”

Caritas Malta wrote, “Thank you Dun Victor for all the love you sewed in our hearts for those who are suffering and vulnerable.”

Grech was ordained a priest in 1956 and involved in Caritas since its inception in Malta in 1977 and stepped down after 37 years in 2014. However, he remained involved and continued to contribute to counselling.

Throughout his career, he traveled to various countries to study different approaches to addressing drug issues and supporting vulnerable individuals.
