L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi

Kien 135 sena ilu meta fl-Ewropa bdiet tiġi ċċelebrata ġurnata msejħa “Jum il-Ħaddiem” f’ċerti postijiet. U kien 135 sena ilu, fl-istess sena, meta l-Papa Ljun XIII kien ħareġ enċiklika fuq San Ġużepp fejn, fost l-oħrajn, juri kif San Ġużepp huwa ispirazzjoni, mudell għall-ħaddiema.

Il-Festa tal-Ewwel ta’ Mejju bħala festa ddedikata lil San Ġużepp Ħaddiem ġiet iktar tard, kważi sebgħin sena ilu, fl-1955, mill-Papa Piju XII… Read more »

Parish priests meet to share experiences of synodality

Some three hundred parish priests from around the world have gathered in Sacrofano, outside of Rome, for a meeting dedicated to listening, prayer, and discernment to address the question of how to be a local synodal Church on mission.

The five-day gathering will feature five days of discussions, culminating in an Audience with Pope Francis on Thursday.

Organized by the General Secretariat of the Synod and the Dicastery for the Clergy, in collaboration with the Dicasteries for Evangelization and for the Oriental Churches, the International Meeting is aimed at “listening to and valuing the experience parish priests live in their respective local Churches” and offering them the opportunity “to experience the dynamism of synodal work at a universal level.”
