John & Yvonne Galea's 25th Wedding Anniversary


John and Yvonne celebrating their 25th anniversaryMro. John Galea and his wife Yvonne celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary with a Mass at St. George's Basilica on 18 November 2007 at 5.00pm. The Mass was led by Mgr Paul Cardona, Archpriest of St. George's Basilica accompanied by  Can. George Bezzina, Parish Priest Emeritus of Fontana. Can. Bezzina, who himself is a former member of the Chorus Urbanus, delivered the sermon which emphasized, in the light of this occasion, the role of the marriage institution as a catalyst for our society.

The Chorus Urbanus, rightly enough animated the Mass with it's singing. In the absence of Mro. Galea, who was attending to the Mass from the congregation, the Choir was under the direction of Mro. Sunny Galea, John's uncle and at times a choir member too. The Choir sang various motets mainly Ave Maria by Arcadelt, Mozart's Ave Verum and John Galea's delicate but technically challenging O Salutaris Hostia.

After the Mass, the Choir members together with John and Yvonne's family members were invited for a sumptuous party at Il Paradiso, on the way to Xlendi. Antoinette Borg, one of the remaining original members, presented Mr & Mrs Galea, on behalf of all the choir members, with an gift for their anniversary. John Galea thanked the choir members and pointed out that the greatest gift he has ever received has been the members' effort and dedication towards the Choir which has been the main reason behind the choir's successes.

On behalf of all the Choir members we would like to wish Mro. John and Mrs Galea, a very Happy Silver Anniversary........CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
