Three fifth year seminarians will on Sunday ask the Church to accept them officially as candidates for the ordination to the diaconate and the presbiterate.

They will make their request during a concelebrated Mass presided over by Apostolic Administrator Charles J. Scicluna at the Parish Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Gzira, at 6pm.

The seminarians are Sinclair Bugeja from the Parish of the Holy Family, Iklin, Ryan Lee Pace from the Parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Gzira, and Mark Spiteri from the Parish of St Philip, Zebbug.

These seminarians will publicly manifest their will to offer themselves to the Church to serve in the ministerial priesthood.

Accepting their offering, the bishop will call on the candidates to prepare themselves to worthily receive Holy Orders during the remaining years prior to their ordination.

The Church called on the Christian community to pray for the new candidates for the priesthood.
