On Sunday 19th October, the Church celebrated Missions Day. On this day, each one of us is invited to reflect on how to follow the call of being a missionary in the environment where he lives. We are also called upon to focus on the Church beyond our shores, especially in Third World Countries.
On this occasion, the Missionary Group within the Seminary community, takes the initiative to hold a week of activities. In this way, the seminarians also can accept the call to be missionaries.
The theme chosen for this year was: “I am a Missionary”. Everyday from Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th October prayers were offered for the missions in very continent. We came to know that besides the laity and many nuns who serve as missionaries in many countries, there are more than sixty priests and monks who are also serving in the missions.
A day worth remembering was Thursday 16th October when the Missions Group visited the Minor Seminary and spread the missionary message among the students of the school.
