Celebrating 100 years Of Mellieha Parish Church Bells

Mar 17 2025

The set of five bells in the bell tower of the Mellieħa Parish Church is one of the most beautiful in Malta and Gozo.

Their history dates back to 1925 when the Mellieħa community, with the help of parish priest Dun Karlu Cortis, raised funds to order the bells from the renowned Italian company Barigozzi.

Once completed, the bells were shipped to Malta and transported to Mellieħa by cart, where they were placed in the church sacristy, marking a joyful moment for the community.

On March 25, 1925, the bells were blessed by Bishop Mons Mauro Caruana, with a special decoration set up in the churchyard. The event drew a large crowd, and when the large bell rang, the people cheered, with many removing their hats in respect.

In 2025, the bells are still heard, though they require people to ring them. To mark the centenary, a special Mass will be held on March 22, 2025, with all parish choirs participating, followed by an open day on March 22 and 23, allowing visitors to view the bells up close in the bell tower.

The celebrations will honour the 100-year history of the bells and their ongoing importance to the Mellieħa community.
