The Major Seminary in Victoria celebrated its 147th anniversary on the 4th of November, the feast day of Bishop St Charles Borromeo, Protector of the Seminary in Victoria.

On this occasion, priests hailing from the Diocese of Gozo were called to a meeting where an action plan for the promotion of priestly vocations in Gozo was launched.

Fr Michael Curmi, Vice-Rector and Diocesan Director of Vocations, introduced the meeting, and this was followed by an explanation of the action plan by Fr Daniel Xerri.

“It is the duty of every Christian, including parents, teachers, parish priests and priests, to pray for and give particular attention to priestly vocations.” Fr Xerri explained what is being done and what should be done in this respect in the parishes, especially among the altar boys and the vocations groups. Then he talked about what is already being done in the diocese of Gozo and also about the initiatives to promote vocations.

At the conclusion of the meeting, there were discussions and refreshments were served.
