Maltese capuchin friar, Fr Philip Cutajar, was recently awarded Cuba’s Premio Solidaridad for his work in helping Cubans affected by Aids.

Fr Cutajar, who leads the Diocesan Health Commission in Santa Clara, dedicated the award to those who helped him in his charitable work, to the Catholic Church in Cuba, to the Franciscan Capuchin Order and to his Maltese and Gozitan benefactors who help him with their generous donations, enabling him to carry on with helping those in need.
