Nazju Falzon (1 July 1813 – 1 July 1865) was a Maltese cleric and a professed member from the Secular Franciscan Order. He did not become an ordained priest because he did not feel he was adequate enough for such an honor.[1] He became an apt catechist and noted for his commitment to religious instruction.[2]
Falzon's beatification took place in mid-2001 in Malta when Pope John Paul II visited the island nation.[3][4]
