Isla Church


The church, dedicated to Our Lady of Safe Haven (the Visitation), was built in 1596. It is known as the church of St. Philip Neri as it was given to the Oratorian priests who rebuilt it in 1690. In 1928, the Oratorian presence in Malta came to an end. From this date the Archpriest of Senglea became responsible for the church. The Jesuits took over the administration of the church in 1957. In 2007 the Curia invited the Salesians of Don Bosco to set up a community in Senglea and they moved into St Philip’s on the 20 of October 2008.
