Josephine Xuereb
1927 -
 

Born in 1927, Josephine (Giuseppa) Xuereb is simply known in Ghajnsielem as the "Superjura" as she has been Superior of the Society of Christian Doctrine (MUSEUM) Female Section of the Ghajnsielem branch for 30 years.

Since a very young age, Giuseppa was a simple young lady who was eager to learn. She was inspired by her grandmother, Regina Debono, who was a catechism teacher. In fact she joined the Female Section of Christian Doctrine in the year 1945. Although she was only 18 years old, at such a young age she was already dedicated to the word of God. She simply lived her vocation with love and dedication. Despite facing several difficulties she managed to keep the Ghajnsielem branch open for 55 years even though there were instances when she was alone.

Giuseppa Xuereb was also an active memeber of the Ghajnsielem Parish Council. She also used to take interest in all liturgical functions beside giving a helping hand to the young children by teaching them how to read and sing during the holy mass. 

To conclude, it was simply a pleasure for Giuseppa Xuereb to teach young children and it seemed that even the children who attended for her classes enjoyed the lessons they received from her as they looked forward to go to the catechism lessons.
