| Abstract: | On 8 December, 2018, a. group of 19 missionaries, including a nun of Maltese descent, who were killed in Algeria two decades ago, were beatified by Pope Francis. Sister Angele-Marie Littlejohn was murdered on 3 September 1995 in Algeria, where she was stationed at an orphanage and boarding school for girls which was run by the Sisters. Through means of National and Church archives, the details of Jeanne Littlejohn's father, William (Guillaume) Littlejohn, who was born in Għargħur on 13 August 1900 and his travels to Tunis in 1921 were brought to light. |
