The modern
church was designed by architect G. Pacini of Rome and can
normally take three thousand persons inside. Work on it
started in 1965 and was inaugurated in 1982 although there is
still much to be done as to the proposed internal decoration.
In this church there is a much venerated effigy of S. Theresa
of Lisieux in a bronze urn, which was brought to Malta in
1961. A processional statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was
made in Lecce in 1907 to the design of Maltese artist G.
Galdes.
