Qormi people

Our mayor is Rosianne Cutajar.We say Qormi for masculine people, Qormija for people who are feminine and for a group of people who live in Qormi we say Qriema/Qormin. Qormi

has a population of 16.770 which is the fifth largest locality in Malta.

Our patron saints

In Qormi we have two patron saints: St.George and St.Sebastian. We celebrate the feast of St. George's on the last of Sunday of June and on the third Sunday of

July we celebrate the feast of St. Sebastian.

St. George's church We have two main churches. One of St. Georges and one of St. Sebastian. The church of St. George's is a sixteenth century baroque Roman Catholic church. The dome was added in 1684 on the designs of Lorenzo Gafa. The last work of art was done by Mattia Preti. The church was consecrated on May 6, 1731.

St. Sebastian’s Church

First the church of St. Sebastian was a chapel. Then in 1873 a builder named Michelangelo Azzopardi proposed to the Bishop of Malta plans, to build a bigger church instead of the old chapel. In 1880 the work on the church started and in March 9, 1890 the church was blessed by the Vicar General Guzeppi Mercieca. In 1937 new plans where made to build a larger church to serve as the parish church.

Why are we most famous ?

We are most famous for bread and how we bake it. In Qormi we bake bread like old times. We

still have ovens with fire wood.
