It is claimed that St. Agatha spent time in the catacombs prior to
going back to Sicily where she was eventually brutally killed. The
saint is one of the patron saints of Malta together with the Apostle
St. Paul.
The Club is proud to have undertaken this project which hopefully
will be completed in due course.
