Homily by Bishop Peter Baldacchino, October 4, 2026

Bishop Peter Baldacchino addressed a community facing rainwater damage and disruption during a homily on October 4, 2026. He spoke to residents who experienced water entering their homes and the resulting distress to offer prayer and support as they begin recovery efforts.

Baldacchino connected the community's suffering to the Mass readings from Isaiah regarding a vineyard. He noted that while the scriptures discuss justice and the responsibility of those entrusted with care, the immediate Christian response to the flooding is to provide compassion and concrete care rather than indifference or blame.
