‘The Well is Deep,’ was the theme of an Ecumenical Service held at St. Augustine’s Church in Victoria, Gozo.

The service took place as part of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2015. Gozo choir Chorus Urbanus, was once again invited to animate this service with a number of religious hymns.

Ecumenical Service was organised by the Legion of Mary in Gozo, in collaboration with the Gozo Diocese and the Anglican Community. It was led by H.L. Mgr Mario Grech, Bishop of Gozo accompanied by Fr. Paul Muscat of St. Augustine’s Priory and Rev. Kim Hurst of St. Andrew’s Scots Church. The choir was under the musical direction of Mro. Dr John Galea.

The congregation was composed of both local and foreign residents of various Christian denominations, who participated in the singing together with the choir and the celebrants.

In his homily, the Bishop stressed the need for all Christians to unite, continuing to build on the reading from the Gospel that recounted the incident of the meeting of Jesus with the Samaritan woman near the well, a reading with the clear message that there’s a place for all people of different creeds in the Kingdom of God.

The Bishop’s benediction to all those present concluded the Service, following which, the priory offered refreshments to the congregation.
