On Tuesday, 7th October, the community of the Seminary was invited by the Community of Franciscan Monks of Victoria to take part in the Mass celebrated on the feast of St Joseph of Copertino. First, the congregation said the Rosary which was animated by the Seminarians, and then the superiors of the Seminary joined the Rector for the celebration of Mass. During the homily, the Rector shared with the congregation his reflections on the life of St Joseph of Copertino. He showed how this saint can be a model to the seminarians during their years of formation and a model also to those who are still in the phase of discerning their vocation.
At the end of the Mass, Prior Fr Joe Xerri, OFM Conv., presented to the Rector a relic of St Joseph of Copertino to be kept in the chapel of the Seminary. He presented also a framed picture with the image of the Saint which is venerated in their church. The seminarians were presented a book about the life of the Saint.
