The new titular statue had arrived at its destination on Sunday 28th March 1869, through a procession accompanied by a musical band that had wound its way from the Augustinian church at Rabat down to Ħal Balzan. The unknown chronicler, who wrote a rather lengthy article in the Corriere Mercantile Maltese, narrates how on that important date for the inhabitants of Ħal Balzan, accadeva la traslazione della maestosa effigie a due statue del gran mistero dell’Annunziazione, and how this traslazione had occurred through una processione di popolo a religioso e placido, ma giubilante contegno, precorreva e susseguiva le statue portate a suono di una banda musicale. The contract for the commission dates to the 3rd February 1867, published in the acts of Notary Annunziato Frendo Micallef.

Iżda l-kult ta' din il-qaddisa fil-gżejjer tagħna u l-preżenza tagħha fix-xena tal-arti lokali għandhom firxa ħafna usa'. Fil-parroċċa ta' Ħal Balzan nsibu żewġ pitturi, xogħlijiet li jagħtu tagħrif dwar Santa Katarina li huma l-'Conversio' u l-'Passio'. Tal-ewwel jirrakkonta t-twelid irjali tal-qaddisa verġni u ż-żwieġ mistiku tagħha ma' Kristu f'viżjoni ftit wara li tgħammdet; tat-tieni jġib id-diskorsi tagħha mal-filosfi pagani quddiem l-Imperatur f'Lixandra, it-tortura tagħha fuq ir-rota u l-qtugħ ir-ras. L-ewwel kwadru li juri ż-żwieġ mistiku tal-qaddisa hu attribwit lil pittur Pasquale Buhagiar (1648-1698), u l-iehor li jirrappreżenta l-martirju ta' din il-qaddisa hu attribwit lil pittur Kalabriż Mattia Preti (1613-1699).
