The traditional ‘Ikla ta’ San Martin’

On Saturday, November 9th, the Seminary hosted its traditional fundraising dinner to honour Saint Martin, the bishop of Tours. The event, which began at 7:00 pm, welcomed around 170 guests along with numerous volunteers who helped with preparations. The menu featured a five-course meal, including Gozitan cheeslets with honey and figs, minestra, għaġin il-forn, pork loin with roasted vegetables, and the customary St. Martin’s cake. Guests were also offered coffee and limoncello.

During the dinner, members of the association “Aħwa-ħbieb tas-Seminarju” held a raffle with various prizes, such as vouchers and items donated by generous supporters. After the meal, Rector Fr. Joseph Bajada invited attendees to explore the Seminary and visit the seminarians’ quarters.

The Seminary extends its gratitude to all the guests for their attendance and the many volunteers organising the event. Special appreciation goes to the Franciscan Sisters at the Seminary for their dedicated hours preparing for the evening.
