The St. Joseph Band is sponsoring the restoration of old statue of Our Lady of Loreto popularly known as the 'Madonna tad-Dar'. The statue was displayed last in public in 2005 during Friday's demonstration march because a year later, it was replaced by a new statue. The old statue, work of Wistin Camilleri dating back to 1949 will now be placed in a niche which is being built in the main hall of the Band club's premises.

But the Ghajnslemizi will have the opportunity to admire the newly restored statue on Thursday during the traditional band march from Simirat Street where the St Joseph Band will accompany the statue of Our Lady of Home  from the old parish church to the band club's premises. The restoration work is being done by Rudolph Cauchi and the Ghaqda Armar. A detailed article about the history of the statue written by Maria Xerri will appear on the St Joseph Band's feast publication.

The St Joseph Band decided to restore this statue to preserve it for future generations while being the society's gift to the Ghajnslemizi for the feast of Our Lady of Loreto.
