Founded in 1908 by Father Fortunatus Mizzi O.F.M. Cap., a Maltese priest, the first church was a small chapel, but burnt down in 1913. [1] Another church, designed by Guido Nincheri, was erected in 1913 to replace it. [2] This structure was completed in 1925, however it was severely damaged by a fire just four years later. It was again rebuilt, this time with very little wood.
