On Sunday, 22nd October, the Church celebrated Missions Day. On this day, the faithful are invited to reflect on how all of us are called upon to be missionaries in the environment where we live. We are also asked to remember the Church beyond our shores, especially the Church in Third World Countries.
Every year, the Missions Group within the Seminary community organizes a set of activities associated with Missions Day. In this way, the seminarians themselves seek to be missionaries. The theme chosen for this year was Youths: The Hope of the Missions for the Future. From Monday 16th to Saturday 21st October, prayers were said for the missions of a specific continent. Besides the great number of nuns and lay missionaries that originated from Gozo, there are more than 60 priests and monks that are serving the Church abroad.
The climax was reached on Thursday 16th October when the Missions Group delivered the missionary message to the students of the Minor Seminary and the Middle School of the Gozo College.
