Following a three-day retreat at Manresa House, the three students of the propaedeutic year joined the community of the Seminary on Monday, 15th October. The propaedeutic experience for this year will be somewhat different from previous experiences as the three propaedeutic students will be living at the Gozo Seminary. The students are Andrew Grima from the Parish of St Lawrence, in San Lawrenz, and Daniel Mercieca and Mario Mercieca both from the Parish of the Assumption of Mary, in Victoria. Vice-Rector Fr Michael Curmi and Spiritual Director Fr Alex Refalo will be responsible for their formation. Although they will be living in the same quarters of the seminarians, they will be following their own particular programme. In fact, they will be joining the community of the seminary only three times during the day: at Mass, during the adoration which takes place in the evening and for supper.
