During the third and fourth weeks of this year’s Lent, the seminarians organised four Lenten meantings, to which the altar boys groups of our Diocese were invited. Several altar boys groups attended.
The meetings took place at the seminarians’ living quarters, and a special setup was prepared. Each meeting was divided into three parts. The first part consisted of reciting some psalms and prayers of intercession. The second part consisted of reading the Parable of the Prodigal Son, followed by a reflection that also referred to the Sacrament of Confession, as this year’s Diocesan Pastoral Plan focuses on this Sacrament. The Rector, the Vice-Rector, and the deacons Franklin Micallef and Matthew Borg gave the reflections. The last part consisted of a moment of adoration that concluded with the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
After the adorations, the altar boys had some time to explore the seminarians’ living quarters and were invited for supper with the seminarians.
