ST. JULIANS PARISH - Parish Info

Lapsi Church
There was a church on St. Julian’s heights before 1580, but the present church dates from 1682. In 1848 it served as a subsidiary parish church and in 1891 it became the parish church of the locality, and it remained so till the present parish church was built. Marriages may be celebrated in it.

Immaculate Conception Church
The church was built by the Knight Rafel Spinola, who wished to have a church near the palace he had built in St. Julian’s Bay in a locality now known as Spinola, from his palace. The church was built in 1687 and enlarged at the beginning of this century while a new facade was given to it in 1914. Marriages may be celebrated in the church.

St. Rita Church
The Augustinian frairs were given a piece of land by Miss Nicolina Pons to build a church and friary. The work started in 1926 and two years later the friars took up residence. Both the friary and the church were destroyed during World War II but rebuilt in 1944. Marriages may be celebrated.

Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel
In 1936 the lawyer Dr Ġużè Pace built a church and friary for the Agustinians, when this area in St. Julian’s which today is known as Paceville started developing. The friars built a new church as the population in the locality had increased considerably. The new church was opened in 1973.

Church of St. Claire
In 1920 the Poor Clares left Zabbar, where they had first settled and moved to St. Julian’s in Carmel Street; but the house there was too small for the community and therefore they started building a new monastery in 1933; they took their residence in the new monastery in 1935.

The Millenium Chapel
The Millennium Chapel is situated in the basement of the Augustinian Convent in Church Street, and was inaugurated on the 8th December 2000. The Chapel aims to be an oasis of peace in the heart of Paceville to visitors of all creeds and colour, to be a place of perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, to offer care and understanding to people who seek it, to be a meeting place for senior citizens and to welcome foreign visitors and tourists in a spirit of faith. It is being run by a Foundation formed by lay people and Augustinian Fathers.
