Fr James Saydon is the Director of the Vocations Centre at the Archbishop’s Seminary. He shares his journey of responding to the Lord’s call and discusses the thoughts, doubts and experiences he has encountered, particularly over the past eight years as a priest.


Għaliex iva?! is a podcast series featuring various priests who share the stories of their vocations and why they believe being a priest is worthwhile in today’s world.

The purpose of the podcast is to showcase the beauty of God’s call through the priests’ experiences, detailing how they discovered their vocations, and the challenges and opportunities they encounter. These stories aim to inspire and offer hope to those contemplating saying ‘yes’ to God, as well as to support both young and seasoned priests.

These talks are also a sign of hope for those who are still thinking about saying ‘yes’ to God, as well as for those who are already priests, both young and old.

Għaliex iva?! is a project by the Seminary Vocations Centre in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Malta.

Għaliex iva?! is available on Facebook, YouTube and Spotify.
