A seminar to identify the challenges that threaten the religious nature of village feasts and propose solutions is being held by the College of Parish Priests next month.

It will also touch on the importance of lawmakers in covering all aspects of feasts.

Speaking during a press conference this morning, the Parish Priests Council president, Fr Eric Overend outlined the college’s plans to enhance public dialogue in 2009.

Parish priests will be preparing for the Archbishop’s pastoral visits whereby, starting this month, he will visit all of Malta’s 70 parishes in a programme that will last three years. The aim will be to strengthen dialogue with the community while addressing the needs of each parish.
