The programme of Saturday, May 20th was different from that of other Saturdays. The community set off early in the morning on a pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu at Għarb.
The stillness of the morning helped the community concentrate on the reciting of the Rosary, a prayer which is greatly treasured by Our Lady. At the end of the pilgrimage, the community gathered in the inner chapel of the Sanctuary where Mass was said. After the reading of the Gospel, seminarian Joseph Hili and Deacons Michael Grima and Carl Scerri placed their hand on the Bible and, in front of the holy picture of The Assumption of Our Lady and in the presence of the Holy Eucharist, made their vows prior to their ordination. Deacons Michael Grima and Carl Scerri are to be ordained priests on Friday 26th May. Seminarian Joseph Hili is to be ordained deacon on Thursday 15th June. The ordination ceremonies are to be held at the Gozo Cathedral.
