On 21 of August, Mgr Anton Teuma, Gozo’s Bishop-elect, was ordained Bishop at the hands of Mgr Mario Grech, Pro-Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops. The co-consecrating bishops were Mgr Charles J. Scicluna, Metropolitan Archbishop of Malta and Mgr Alessandro d’Errico, Apostolic Nunzio to Malta. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the consecration, which started at 5.30pm, was held in the Xewkija Rotunda Church instead of the Cathedral, since the former is much larger in space.
The Seminary community would like to wish well to H.L. Mgr Teuma on the beginning of his ministry as Bishop and also accompany him in prayer.
