“I went to three other parishes, but I really felt comfortable at St. Lawrence. I went to one liturgy and I felt that's where I belonged. My daughter was little at the time and she also felt at home there. There was so much warmth and comfort. It was a very welcoming community.”
Gladys Pozza
“It’s a pontifex, a bridge to the skies, in fact the Pope himself is called Pontifex Maximus”
Father Mark Montebello
“I remember in Gozo villagers used to say one should have three altars: the Church, the word of God and the matrimonial bed. That showed there was no separation between the physical and the spiritual”
“This Greek idea of dualism is the problem deep down, this thing of having the spiritual on one side and the profane on the other. We are still grappling with this. Spirituality is a plus, sexuality a minus”
“When asked for the main reasons I became Catholic seven years ago, I provide two: the Eucharist and the authority of the Church.”
Carl Olson
“I have never been brought up a Catholic - I mean, a Roman Catholic - we're all Catholics, aren't we? We're Protestant Catholics, whether we're from Methodist or Baptist or what.”
