On Saturday morning, 12th December, a large number of altar boys from all over Gozo were hosted at the Seminary for a Christmas activity.
This year, the activity was held in the front yard of the Seminary. Carl Scerri conducted the activity. He talked about the presents that we receive during the Christmas season. He said that the greatest gift that we receive is Baby Jesus. Seminarian Joseph Hili dressed up as Father Christmas and, much to the delight of the children, he abseiled down the Seminary facade. He carried with him a box which contained the image of Baby Jesus. This reinforced the message given earlier by Carl Scerri – that the greatest gift is Jesus who was born to save us and to love us. A big thank you goes to the ERRC Gozo who made this activity possible and to CVC Video Communications who shot some scenes of the activity to be aired on Għawdex Illum.
The children were then divided into three groups and were engaged in different games. The children were also served some light snacks. Bishop Mario Grech addressed the children present for the activity and later, the seminarians distributed Christmas gifts which they themselves had prepared.
