ta pinu   Our Lady of Ta' Pinu - Washington DC

May 2005 was a historical day for the Maltese in North America. On the 28th day of May, hundreds of Maltese and Gozitans from USA, Canada, Malta and Gozo gathered in Washington for the inauguration of the Oratory to the Madonna Ta' Pinu in the National Shrine in Washington DC. This DVD captures the get-together with the new Bishop of Gozo, Mons Mario Grech who led a pilgrimage of Maltese and Gozitans to Washington, and Mons Benedict Camilleri, who was the force behind this shrine. It also shows the highlights of the Dedication Mass celebrated by His Emminence Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and the blessing of the Oratory.Contains a number of interviews with those present for this historic occasion.

To have our Madonna Ta' Pinu enshrined in the National Shrine in Washington DC is a great blessing for the people of Malta and Gozo. I could not attend the ceremony, but this DVD brings the joy of that historical occasion. As a North American, I wanted to own this DVD because it shows what we have accomplished.
