Between the 14th and the 16th June 2012, the community of the Major Seminary, together with the Commission of Members of the Clergy, organised a gathering for members of the Clergy.  The theme of the gathering was:  “Will the Son of God find faith on Earth when he comes” (Lk 18,8).  The aim of this gathering was to prepare the members of the Clergy for the Year of Faith, launched by Pope Benedict XVI and which is to start next October, and for Mgr Bishop Mario Grech’s pastoral visit in the diocese of Gozo on the occasion of the launching of the Year of Faith.  On the first day, Fr Hector Scerri SThD spoke on The experience of faith, based on the apostolic letter “Porta fidei” of Pope Benedict XVI.  On the second day, Fr René Camilleri SThD lectured on “the new evangelisation”.  On the third day, Prof Oliver Friggieri talked about “the proposal of faith to Maltese society of the present day and of the future”. The talks were held in the hall of the Seminary of The Sacred Heart and various priests, members of religious orders and the seminarians attended the gathering.
