This
chapel was in a very poor state and was in danger of collapsing,
due to engineering works carried out closeby. Extensive
restoration works were carried out by the Mosta Local Council.
The works, carried out under the supervision of Architect
Mr. Norbert Gatt, took two years to complete and were finished
in September 2002. Several Government departments were involved,
their work being coordinated by The Mosta Local Council.
It was reinaugurated on Thursday 19 September 2002 by the
Hon. Minister Dr. Francis Zammit Dimech and Mosta Mayor
Mr. Joe De Martino, and blessed by the Mosta Archpriest
Rev. Fr. Joe Carabott.
The date 1657 is engraved on
the chapel door and shows the date when the present chapel
was built instead of a previous one. In old days the feast
of St. Andrew used to be celebrated here on the 30th November
every year.
