Two new candidates for the priesthood

Two seminarians, who are currently in their fifth year of studies at the Archbishop’s Seminary, will ask Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna to accept them officially as candidates for the Ordination to the Diaconate and the Priesthood, on Sunday 3rd January 2016. This will take place during Epiphany Mass at St. John’s Co-Cathedral, Valletta, at 9:15 a.m.

Anton D’Amato from the Parish of St Catherine, Zurrieq, and Bernard Micallef from the Parish of the Annunciation of Our Lady, Tarxien, will publicly manifest their will to offer themselves to the Church to serve in the ministerial priesthood. While accepting their offering with joy, the Archbishop will call on the candidates to ensure that during the remaining years prior to their ordination, they will prepare themselves to worthily receive Holy Orders.

The Christian community is asked to pray for these new candidates for the priesthood.
