On Saturday, 11th May 2013, Archbishop Paul Cremona O.P. will institute three seminarians as Lectors. The ceremony will be held during a Mass at the Annunciation Parish Church in Tarxien, at 6.00 p.m. The three seminarians, who are currently in their fifth year of formation, are Carlo Calleja from Stella Maris Parish, Sliema, Christopher Ellul from Christ the King Parish, Paola, and Mark Joseph Zammit from the Annunciation Parish, Tarxien.
The Ministry of Lectorate marks another step in the priestly formation of the seminarians. As Lectors they are officially entrusted with the proclamation of God’s Word during the liturgy, endeavour to help the faithful receive the sacraments worthily and share the message of salvation with their fellow brothers and sisters, especially those who have not yet experienced it.
The Seminary Community encourages all the faithful to pray for more vocations at that the Lord may bless all seminarians to be faithful shepherds according to God’s heart.
