On Thursday 29th of April the Seminary community organised a prayer vigil at the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady in Victoria. This moment of prayer was held as spiritual preparation for the Presbyteral Ordination of deacons Rev. Andrew Grima and Bro. Etienne Gilson OFM Conv.
The meditations during the vigil, made by the Rector Can Richard Farrugia, were based on 1 Kings 19, 1-15, which is the biblical passage accompanying the Seminary community throughout this year. During the last part of the vigil, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed, and the ordinands Andrew and Etienne made a public prayer in front of our Lord. This was followed by the Eucharistic Benediction. The vigil was concluded with a short message from the Bishop of Gozo, H.L. Mgr Anthony Teuma. Since due to the Covid-19 pandemic, only a limited number of people could attend the vigil, it was transmitted live on the social media of the Diocese and the Seminary.
