Three Young Men Ordained As New Priests

Apr 21 2024

Three young men were ordained as new priests by Archbishop Charles Scicluna in Valletta’s St John’s Co-Cathedral.

The Archdiocese of Malta shared the ordination of Dun Malcolm John Saliba, Dun Karl Andrew Schembri and Father Rob Rizzo SJ.

‘Archbishop Charles Scicluna’s message to them’, the Archdiocese explained, ‘is that they not only preach ministries of healing, but that they be humble enough that they pray to Jesus everyday for their own healing and soulful renewal.’

Karl Andrew Schembri was interviewed by MaltaDaily for an M Files episode earlier this year.

The 28 year old explained his journey to joining the priesthood and how his life eventually led him to following this path.
