On Friday, December 8th, the Catholic Church celebrated the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. This feast has a bond with the Seminary, since the Seminary Chapel is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.
On Thursday, December 7th, on the eve of the solemnity, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed in the chapel for the whole day. Prayers for vocations were said. During the morning Mass, Deacon Joseph Hili delivered a short homily. In the evening, the seminarians were present at the Cathedral for the evening vespers and then participated in an hour of Adoration in the Seminary chapel during which they sang marian hymns. The hour of Adoration came to an end with the Sacramental Blessing. On Friday morning, the morning Vespers were said in the chapel. At 8.00am, the seminarians attended the Pontifical Mass at the Cathedral. In the evening, the rosary was said.
