The Seminary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Victoria, Gozo, is an old historical building. This does not mean that the building is inert. For the last hundred and forty years, this building has hosted a community of young men who, in their prime of life, decide to stop and reflect on the Lord’s call to them.

The seminarians took the opportunity offered to them during this year’s Lejlet Lapsi – Notte Gozitana weekend, to open the doors of the Seminary and welcome all those who wished to be better acquainted with the seminarians’ way of life.

A concert of sacred music, by Soprano Marouska Attard, was held at the chapel of the Seminary as part of the Notte Gozitana programme. Following the concert, the audience was invited to visit the living quarters of the seminarians.

Visitors were also given the opportunity to enjoy a video, filmed by the seminarians in 1970, featuring the life at the Seminary. A glance at the past is always interesting and welcomed, more so on such occasions. Through the video, the visitors could better appreciate the life of the seminarians in the past. These same seminarians have now been serving the Church as ordained priests for the past thirty or forty years.
