Last Saturday, 18th May, the deacon Franklin Micallef hailing from the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the St Gregory the Great in Ta’ Kerċem, made his solemn vows of celibacy and obedience at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu, in Għarb. This ceremony took place in view of his forthcoming presbyteral ordination which will take place at the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady in Victoria on the 24th of May.
Early in the morning, at 6.30am, the Seminary Community gathered together to pray the rosary while walking to Ta’ Pinu. Afterwards, the community, led by the Rector the Rev. Fr Joseph Bajada, sang the Morning Prayer. Immediately after the lectio brevis of the lauds, Rev. Franklin made his vows.
