| Abstract: | Virginja De Brincat – the founder picked up by God was born on 28 November, 1862, the eighth child of Mikelang De Brincat and Katerina Gauci. She was christened on the same day at the parish church of Saint George, Rabat, and named Virginja, Guzeppa, Marija Govanna. Her parents were married on 21 June 1842 and they lived at number 3, Strada San Gregorio, in an area known as Taht il-Gifen, a stone's throw from the church of Saint Gregory, Kercem. They had nine children in all, four boys and five girls. As all the children of her time, as soon as she could utter some words, she was instructed to make the sign of the cross, say the Our Father and the Hail Mary, and other simple prayers. Contrary to the custom in the second half of the nineteenth century she also had the good fortune of being sent to school. |
