Between Thursday 9th and Saturday 11th May, our Seminary had the pleasure of hosting the Rev. Fr Dominik Jurczak OP, Dean of the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical University of St Thomas Aquinas, commonly known as the ‘Angelicum’.
This year the Institute of Theological studies at our Seminary is celebrating its 30th anniversary from its affiliation with the University of St Thomas Aquinas in Rome, run by the Dominican Order. The Seminary was affiliated to this university by a decree issued by the Congregation for Catholic Education on the 13th April 1994.The Dean arrived in Gozo on Thursday afternoon. In the evening he had an official meeting with the Bishop Mgr Anton Teuma, and the lecturers and the academic staff of the Seminary. This meeting was followed by a dinner in the Seminary refectory. On Friday morning, at the Seminary the deacons Franklin Micallef and Matthew Borg had their final comprehensive oral exam. The Dean was one of the five examiners present. On a happy note both deacons passed and achieved their Baccalaureate. On Saturday morning, Fr Jurczak met the seminarians in the Seminary Conference Room. Afterwords, accompanied by Fr Joseph Ellul OP, he departed to Malta.
