On Thursday, 8th December, the Catholic Church celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This feast has a special bond with our seminary since the Seminary Chapel has the Immaculate Conception as its main altar piece. On Wednesday afternoon, the seminarians rendered service during Vespers at the Cathedral. Thursday morning started with the reading from the Liturgy of the Hours and the Lauds in the chapel. At 8.00 a.m. the seminarians rendered service at the Cathedral during the Pontifical Mass. The prayer of Akathistos, which is a prayer of praise that the Eastern Christians recite to Mary, Mother of God, was said at 3.00 p.m.
