Archbishop institutes five new acolytes

Archbishop Paul Cremona presided over a celebration of the Eucharist at Floriana parish church last Friday, during which he instituted five sixth-year seminarians as acolytes.

The new acolytes are Stephen Attard from Mosta, René Antoine Cilia from the parish of St George, Qormi, Nicholas Dimech from Siġġiewi, Stephen Magro from Żabbar and David Torpiano from Floriana.

Their institution as acolytes marks another step in the seminarians' formation for priesthood. As acolytes, they will assist priests and deacons in their ministry, distribute the Eucharist to their fellow brothers and sisters, including the sick, continue to grow in their personal love for the Eucharist and, above all, act and speak in such a way to be worthy servants of the Lord and the Church.
