The Order of Malta is one of the sponsoring agencies of Eastern Palliative Care in this agency’s work in providing compassionate and quality palliative care.

On Saturday, 9th November, the Order held a Garden Party as a fundraiser for EPC at the residence of Rosemary and Renato Vecchies, who are good supporters of the Order and its works.

Some 50 people attended and an amount of $2285 was raised for Eastern Palliative Care.

As a thank you to Rosemary and Renato for their generosity in hosting the Garden Party at their home, the principal organiser, Consoeur Lilian Antonelli presented them with an Our Lady of Philermos rose, as an addition to their glorious garden.
