| Introduction | Born in St Julian's Malta on August 27, 1952, I grew up within a loving family with two parents John and Mary Cassar, both deceased, and two older sisters Josephine (deceased) and Rosemarie (husband Carmelo Garzia, deceased,) and two younger brothers, Paul (deceased,) married to Kay, and Marcel, married to Maria with two sons, Julian Jr and Peter. I was ordained a priest on June 19, 1977 and served for 4 years in my hometown St Julian's. In 1981, I started my pastoral ministry in New York, both on Long Island and upstate New York. In 2003, I moved to the west coast serving in the Diocese of Baker in John Day, Baker City and Bend. Presently I am living while serving as chaplain at Hilltop Gardens, a retirement community in Naxxar, Malta. After writing from the USA for 30 years in a Maltese Catholic newspaper 'Lehen is-Sewwa,' in October 2016 I started again as a regular contributor profiling some well-known and lesser known people every two weeks. |
