Each year, the Seminary community goes on a silent spiritual retreat as a preparation for the coming year of formation. This year’s retreat was held with the Seminary community of the Archdiocese of Malta between the 22nd and 27th of September at the Archbishop’s Seminary in tal-Virtù in Rabat Malta. The preacher was Rev. Fabio Attard sdb who hails from Gozo. The seminarians were accompanied by the Rector Can Richard Farrugia and the new Vice-Rector, Rev. Samuel Grech.
Throughout the retreat Fr Fabio preached about the importance of love, listening and being of service to others. He also emphasised the importance of prayer to develop a closer relationship with God. Only when one is spiritually mature does true pastoral activity take place.
This retreat was a moment of grace for both communities to commence a new year united with God and each other in prayer.
