On Tuesday 17th December our Prior Provincial took part in a meeting of the Provincials of the South of Europe discussing the project of a common Novitiate for the provinces of Spain, Italy and Malta. At the moment there are two Italian novices at the Noviciate.  The Noviciate is being held in Pavia in the North of Italy, the place where the relics of our holy father Saint Augustine are venerated. The Provincials of the respective provinces held meetings with the formation personnel evaluating the formation journey and the program being followed at the present novitiate. Discussions regarding the vision and future for the Noviciate were also held. The Provincial Fr Leslie Gatt, held also a meeting with the novices sharing some reflections about the presence of the Augustinians in Malta.
