Mgr Charles J. Scicluna was this morning ordained auxiliary bishop during a ceremony delivered to a St John’s co-Cathedral filled to overflowing, in the presence of family members, visiting archbishops and bishops, representatives from across the Maltese diocese, among other dignitaries.
Today’s Episcopal Ordination – a ceremony led by Archbishop Paul Cremona celebrating Mgr Scicluna’s moment of renewed commitment to the Church – took centre-stage, overshadowing the political scene, with a string of activities held this week to the run-up to the ceremony. The ordination was televised live on TVM 2.
Following one of the readings, all present burst into applause.
