Munxar was the last locality in Gozo to become a parish and, as a result, an autonomous village. It lies on the very southern tip of Victoria.
The parish church, a small baroque temple built from the typical Maltese stone, is dedicated to St. Paul. It was built between 1914 and 1925 and was consecrated on 18 October 1925. Bishop Joseph Pace established it as a parish church on 12th December 1957.
The feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck officially falls on the 10th of February, which is also a national public holiday. However in Munxar, the outside festivities are celebrated on the third Sunday of each May.
