The festa
schedule is over. Broadcasting started on Sunday August
the 3rd and stopped on Tuesday 2nd September. These 31
days proved to be a great success. All producers and
presenters tried to do their best in providing quality
programs, programs aimed to entertain and educate.
The schedule included live transmissions of the festa of
Our Lady of Loreto. Once again these live transmissions
were a huge success especially for those who couldn’t be
present for the festivities, including the sick, the
elderly and our dear emigrants. The overwhelming support
received was a proof that Radju Lauretana is here to
stay. Some highlights during this month transmission
were the Open Day on 5th August, the first birthday of
Radju Lauretana, Morena’s visit and live interview on
Wednesday 27th August and the visit by his Excellency
the President of Malta Dr. Edward Fenech Adami on
Tuesday 26th August. The Head of the Maltese State had a
word of praise for all the voluntary staff and the work
carried out at our radio station. On Sunday 31st August,
our fete day, both His Excellency the Bishop of Gozo
Monsignor Mario Grech and the Minister for Gozo Giovanna
Debono visited our studios together with Ghajnsielem
Major Frans Cauchi. All three were interviewed.
Transmitting for a whole month was not an easy job.
However this was made possible with the help of all. The
people of Ghajnsielem once again gave their full support
both financially and in prayer. Thanks to all those who
showed their support by phoning in, sending an SMS or an
E Mail. Radju Lauretana is once again silent, silent
until December when the Christmas Schedule starts. May
Our Lady of Loreto and her son Jesus bless all
volunteers and listeners.
