On April 6, at his residence, Monsignor RICHARD BORG, of Naxxar, aged 74, passed away peacefully, comforted by the rites of Holy Church.

He leaves to mourn his loss his siblings Gina, Lucy wife of his late brother Anthony, Mary Ellul wife of late Paul, Esther Azzopardi wife of Anthony, his beloved nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, other relatives and friends.

The cortège will leave the morgue at Mater Dei Hospital on Monday, April 10 at 9.30am for Santa Lucia Chapel in St Lucy Street, Naxxar, where he will be laid præsente cadavere for the public to pay him respect until 2.30pm.

The cortège will leave for Our Lady of Victory Parish Collegiate, Naxxar, where Mass will be celebrated at 3.30pm.

The family welcomes donations to Hospice Malta, Balzan, and/or Id-Dar tal-Kleru, Birkirkara, as an expression of sympathy instead of flowers.

Lord, grant him eternal rest.
