The Feast of the Immaculate Conception at the Seminary

On Wednesday 8th December our community joined the rest of the Catholic Church in the celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. This is a special feast for our community since the chapel of our Seminary is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. In the morning we prayed the Invitatory and the Office of Readings. Afterwards we celebrated the Holy Mass of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, in which Seminarian Matthew Bajada delivered a reflection about the day’s Solemnity. This Holy Mass was led by the Rector Can. Richard N. Farrugia. Lauds and the Veni Creator hymn were sung after the Holy Mass, and these were led by deacon Gabriel Vella. In the evening we continued the feast celebrations in our chapel, where we prayed the Holy Rosary and sang the Litany of Loreto and Vespers. These prayers were led by the vice-rector Fr Samuel Grech. We concluded this moment by singing the antiphon “Beata Mater” and afterwards we received the Eucharistic Benediction.
