On Thursday, 4D ecember, the seminarians organised 2 important activities held annually during the time of Advent.
In the morning we visited the Institute Sir M.A. Refalo Sixth Form, where we had an outreach. The seminarians, together with diocesan priests and religious from the Qaddejja taċ-Ċenaklu and the Minor Franciscans, visited every classroom to provide a small reflection about the importance of good decisions in life, the joy we all search in life and shared our vocational stories. Afterwards at the foyer students had time to chat over a cup of coffee and some biscuits.
In the evening all altar servers in Gozo, of age 13 or older were invited to the Seminary. The meeting started at 7.00pm in the Seminary Hall and was attended by around 60 adolescents.
The theme for this meeting was ‘Peace on earth’. The message delivered was based on the peace we are called to live in with those closest to us. The meeting was concluded in the chapel where the altar servers had a half an hour of adoration with the seminarians, during which they prayed the Vespers together. After the prayers were concluded with the Eucharistic Benediction, all proceeded to the hall once again, to eat together and for a moment of fraternity.
