The Sacred Heart Major Seminary marked the opening of the academic year with Mass led by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, together with Fr Rector Richard Farrugia and lecturers. Benefactors and relatives of seminarians were also present. At the end of Mass, Mgr Grech announced that a young man from Fr Anton Grech’s parish in Guatemala will start his priestly formation in Gozo. It is a first for the diocese of Gozo and marks the close relationship that Gozo has with the Universal Church and with Gozitan missionaries. Before Mass, lecturers attended a staff meeting.
