An annual activity held by the Seminary community is the Lungo Passeggio. As the name suggests it is a long walk around the Gozitan countryside. A different route is chosen each year; this year being from Mġarr Harbour to Xlendi Bay. The seminarians together with three of the formators, namely the rector Fr Richard Farrugia, the vice-rector Fr Samuel Grech and the prefect of studies Fr Noel Debono, left the Seminary at around 8.45am. After a short drive to Mġarr, the walk started at the area near Fort Chambray. Then, the group proceeded to x-Xatt l-Aħmar Bay and afterwards to Mġarr ix-Xini Tower where they took a short break. They continued walking to the Ta’ Ċenċ area and finally by the Sanap Cliffs before reaching the Xlendi Tower. The walk took just over four hours. Although it had been quite a rainy week, this morning’s weather was ideal. Naturally, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all members of the group wore face masks at all times. To better observe social distancing, the group was split into smaller groups. The Seminary community returned to the Seminary at around 1.15pm.
