Pope on his way to visit migrants and Granaries mass
Apr 3 2022 Share

Starting off the last day of his visit to Malta with a private meeting with the Jesuit order, Pope Francis will be making his way to meet migrants hosted at the Peace Lab later today. 

He first made his way to St Paul’s Grotto in Rabat for prayers, in a site venerated since medieval times as the place just outside of the city of Melita. This is where St Paul is said to have stayed during his stay in Malta in 60 AD.

The Pope will then be leaving Rabat to celebrate Mass at the Granaries, which is set to welcome at least 12,000 people and 300 international journalists. Following this, the Pope will meet migrants at the ‘John XXIII Peace Lab’ in Hal Far.

He will leave the island in the evening after a farewell ceremony at the Malta International Airport at 5:50pm.

The dream of every single artist is to escape the confines of their makeshift bedroom studio and get their music to as many ears as possible and Maltese singer-songwriter Shaun Farrugia is doing just that.

From pursuing a career in real estate in Malta to working with huge names like Sigala, The Script, Martin Jensen and so many more, Shaun’s career is truly flourishing beyond our shores. His latest tracks come in the form of a few leaks on a Martin Garrix Instagram fan page.

The fan account shares two clips of the superstar DJ playing two collaborations with the Maltese artist at the world-famous Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The post also shares that Garrix actually found Shaun on TikTok, where the artist would post clips singing some of his own original work!

Congratulations Shaun!
