Gozo Bishop Mario Grech will be leading a pilgrimage to pray for rain.

In a circular that was read in Gozo churches, Bishop Grech called on the farmers as well as all Gozitans to take part in a penitential pilgrimage to pray for rain, a rare commodity for the Maltese islands this winter.

This pilgrimage will take place on Sunday at 4pm, starting at the Qala parish church to the Immaculate Conception chapel in Qala where a mass will be held.
