Last Saturday, on the 11th of November, the Seminary hosted the traditional fundraising dinner held on the occasion of the commemoration of Saint Martin, bishop of Tours. The dinner commenced at 7.00pm and was attended by 152 people, apart the many volunteers that helped in the preparations. A five-course meal was served: first a charcuterie plate, then some minestra, għaġin il-forn, pork loin with roasted vegetables, as well as a portion of the traditional St Martin’s cake accompanied by a serving of custard. Also, coffee and limoncello were served. During the dinner, volunteers from the association “Aħwa-ħbieb tas-Seminarju” organised a raffle with many spot prizes including vouchers, and other objects donated by several benefactors. After the dinner, the Rector Fr Joseph Bajada invited the guests to have a look around the Seminary and visit the quarters in which the seminarians reside.
The Seminary would like to thank all guests for their presence as well all volunteers who were involved in the organisation of this event. A special thanks goes to the community of the Franciscan Sisters at the Seminary for their many hours of dedicated service for the preparation of this dinner.
