Devotion to the saint is worldwide but especially in the Holy Land, where the feast is celebrated in Palestine on May 6, according to the older calendar used by the Eastern Churches.
Devotion in Victoria
In Victoria, where I was brought up, I had to be especially devoted either to the parish of St George or to that of St Mary’s Assumption into Heaven. Gozo’s capital has always been patronised by ‘Ta’ l-Istilla’ (associated with St George’s parish) or ‘Ta’ l-Iljun’ (associated with St Mary’s parish).

Putting on a Girl Scout uniform is more than just getting dressed

Putting on a Uniform - It’s More Than Just Getting Dressed!
As we celebrate the 109th anniversary of Girl Scouting, we remember how it all started. Returning from a trip abroad, Juliette Gordon Low was excited. “I’ve got something for America!” she told a friend. That something was a unique new experience for girls. Inspired by the work of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, who’d recently started Boy Scouting in England, Juliette envisioned organizing girls to participate in an array of exciting activities. Calling together the daughters of relatives and friends in her Savannah, Georgia hometown, she organized the first Girl Scout meeting on March 12, 1912 - a date that has become Girl Scouting’s official birthday. There were 18 girls at that first meeting. When I think about Girl Scouting and what it stands for, I think about what it means to wear the uniform.
Louise Clover, deputy county commissioner for perception, said: “As well as thanking our fantastic volunteers, I’d like to thank our young people too.
“They have been superheroes as they deal with this change in their lives, and I’m probably as excited as they are about the adventures that lie ahead.”
