During this Lent the seminarians organised meetings for the altar boy groups of the various churches of the Diocese. Since they are many in number, not all groups were invited at once, but the invitations were spread on four different meetings.
The meetings started at 7.15pm, with a moment of prayer, reflection and adoration at the Seminary Chapel. During the first part of the meeting, the altar servers and the seminarians prayed together by reciting some psalms, and by making prayers of intercession. In the following part, the passage of the institution of the Eucharist according to St Luke was proclaimed. Then the Vice-Rector Rev. Gabriel Gauci delivered a reflection about the Holy Eucharist, as this year’s Diocesan Pastoral Plan focuses on this Sacrament. During the final part of the meeting, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for some time of adoration and the Eucharistic benediction was given.
Afterwards, the altar boys were invited to the Seminary Hall for dinner and some time of fraternity.
