The Seminary community marked Mission Week with a series of prayerful and formative activities aimed at deepening our missionary spirit and solidarity with the universal Church.
The week began on Monday with a viewing of Of Gods and Men, a powerful film recounting the witness of a community of Trappist monks in Algeria who lived and died in fidelity to their faith and their mission. On Tuesday, the community gathered for a time of Eucharistic Adoration centred on the theme of mission, praying for all those who preach and be witnesses of the Gospel throughout the world.
On Wednesday, a special session was held for the Form 3 students of the Minor Seminary, reflecting on the Holy Father’s message to be missionaries of hope in today’s world. A bookmark with a missionary prayer was distributed as a reminder of this call.
Thursday featured a virtual talk by Fr Damien Veniyil OFM Conv, who shared about the history of the Catholic Church in India, the challenges faced by Christians there, and his pastoral work among the Indian community in Malta.
Throughout the week, daily prayers were offered for countries where Christians face persecution, uniting the Seminary community in intercession and solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters in faith.
Mission Week was a time of reflection, prayer, and renewal—a reminder that every Christian is called to bear witness to the hope of Christ in the world.
