On Friday 24th February 2012, Archbishop Paul Cremona O.P. will preside over a concelebrated Mass during which two seminarians will ask the Church to accept them officially as candidates for their Ordination to the Diaconate and the Presbiterate. This celebration is being held at Ħal Għaxaq Parish Church at 6.30pm.
The two seminarians, who are in their fifth year of formation, are Luke Cutajar from Saint Paul’s Parish, Rabat, and Brian Gialanzè from Saint Peter in Chains Parish, Birżebbuġa.
The two seminarians will publicly manifest their will to offer themselves to the Church to serve in the ministerial priesthood. Whilst accept their offering with joy, the Archbishop will call on the candidates to ensure that during the two 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.
