As he approaches his 90th birthday, Fr Hilary Tagliaferro welcomes Mark Laurence Zammit into a Millennium Chapel buzzing with life. He recalls his friendship with Pelé, the time he unknowingly gave a lift to an escaped prisoner and the occasion he eulogised the wrong person at a funeral.
“When you’ve lived as long as I have, you’re bound to have made a few gaffes,” Fr Hilary Tagliaferro jokes as he reminisces on his 65-year Augustinian vocation and illustrious football career.

An Oasis of Peace
- Details
In the heart of the tourist and entertainment centre of Malta’s nightlife there stands an oasis of peace :- THE MILLENNIUM CHAPEL and WOW , (Wishing Others Well), These are two pit stops in the hustle and bustle of Paceville – considered the mecca of young people and foreign tourists who visit the Island of Malta.
The Millennium Chapel is a place where all are welcome in the greatest respect of the human person and the beauty of each other. This has been the response of the Maltese Augustinian Province at the start of the new millennium to a fast changing world.
It is a modern architectural gem of a sacred space created by Richard England to provide a sanctuary where everyone who visits feels that they are not alone, for in spite of the fact that people in the outside world are together, they are still fragmented and dying of loneliness. This prayer space provides a destination beyond space and outside times; a place where one is invited to seek shelter from the strident chaos of to day’s discordant world and enter into a silent meditative oasis.
