On the 50th anniversary of the coronation of the titular painting of the Immaculate Conception of Bormla, Cardinal Tedeschini attached a star-studded halo around the head of the Immaculate Conception that is painted on it.

During this ceremony, which was also attended by the Archbishop of Malta Mikiel Gonzi, Architect Dominic Mintoff was chosen to carry the stars and present them to the Cardinal.
