Mgr Charles J Scicluna was formally installed as the Archbishop of the island in a ceremony at the Cathedral in Mdina. The highlight was reached with the reading of the Papal decree dated February 27 - appointing Mgr Scicluna (left) to head the Church in Malta. It was the first installation since that of Archbishop Joseph Mercieca in 1976, who, like Mgr Scicluna, was already bishop when he was appointed to head the Maltese Church. Mercieca’s successor, Mgr Paul Cremona was ordained bishop after he was nominated, at an ordination ceremony at St John's Co-Cathedral.
