On August 6, at Mater Dei Hospital, Fr GEORGE SCHEMBRI, aged 81, passed away peacefully comforted by the rites of Holy Church.

He leaves to mourn his loss his sisters Mary Schembri, Helen, wife of George Debattista, his brother Pio and his wife Margaret, Pauline, widow of his brother Joseph, Mary, widow of his brother Charles, nephews, nieces, relatives and friends.

The funeral cortège leaves Mater Dei Hospital on Saturday, August 10, for St Mary’s parish church, Birkirkara (il-Knisja l-Qadima), where Mass præsente cadavere will be said at 9.30am, followed by interment in the family grave at Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery.

The family would appreciate if instead of flowers donations are made to Id-Dar tal-Providenza, Siġġiewi.

Lord, grant him eternal rest.

Special thanks go to his carers and all the staff at Mater Dei Hospital for their care and dedication.
