History
The parish of Msida was created in 1867 by Archbishop Gaetano Pace Forno and the church of the Immaculate Conception was chosen as the first parish church. A larger church dedicated to St Joseph was built. Works were finished by 1889. The church was consecrated on April 22, 1894. [1] [2] [3]
gollark: Pascal's Wager might work if the only options are "no god" or "one god, and it's the one you believe in, and they'll reward you if you believe and punish you otherwise".
gollark: Also, I should be specific, "a god and associated religious claims", not just "a god".
gollark: Pascal's Wager is really stupid.
gollark: > I’d rather just have faith and get on with my lifeThis seems like a bizarre attitude, since if you... don't actually have evidence for a god at all... it's really weird for that belief to affect your decisions.
gollark: I'm not sure what you would call them, since "antitheist" is taken for "against belief in god".
