On Sunday 29 June, Fr. Salvino Caruana celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his Priestly Ordination. Fr. Salvino was ordained a priest in the Jubilee Year 1975 in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, by His Holiness Pope St. Paul VI. Among several other priests who were ordained that day, the late Fr. Manuel Borg Bonello was also with him.

Fr. Salvino was born in Żabbar on 28 December 1949. From an early age he began his formation in the Augustinian family and in 1967 he began his novitiate at St. Augustine Priory in Gozo. A year later, on 16 October 1968, he made his first profession of Religious Vows. After a journey of formation, on 10 February 1973 he made his Solemn Profession in the Order of Saint Augustine and then received the Ordination to the Diaconate.

During the years of his ministry, Fr. Salvino served in various priories and also worked at St. Augustine’s College where he taught and even served as Rector. But the work that most characterized his ministry is his commitment to the academic field and particularly in Patristic Studies. For several years he engaged himself in research, writing and teaching at the University of Malta, at the Augustinian Institute as well as giving lectures in several other entities.

In fact, he served and still serves as director of the Augustinian Institute within the Maltese Augustinian Province. Along the years he published a large number of books and translated several texts of St. Augustine into the Maltese language.

We take the opportunity to wish him good health and more years of ministry in the Augustinian Family and the Church.

Nhar il-Ħadd 29 ta’ Ġunju, P. Salvino Caruana iċċelebra il-ħamsin sena mill-Ordinazzjoni Saċerdotali tiegħu. P. Salvino kien ordnat saċerdot fis-sena tal-Ġublew 1975 fil-Bażilika ta’ San Pietru fil-belt tal-Vatikan, mill-Qdusija tiegħu il-Papa San Pawlu VI. Fost diversi saċerdoti oħra li ġew ordnati dakinhar, kien hemm miegħu anke il-mibki P. Manuel Borg Bonello.

P. Salvino twieled Ħaż-Żabbar fit-28 ta’ Diċembru 1949. Sa minn età żgħira huwa beda l-formazzjoni tiegħu fil-familja Agostinjana u fl-1967 beda n-novizzjat fil-Kunvent ta’ Santu Wistin f’Għawdex. Sena wara, fis-16 ta’ Ottubru 1968, għamel l-ewwel professjoni tal-Voti Reliġjużi. Wara mixja ta’ formazzjoni, fl-10 ta’ Frar 1973 huwa għamel il-Professjoni Solenni fl-Ordni ta’ Santu Wistin u imbagħad irċieva l-Ordinazzjoni tad-Djakonat.

Tul is-snin tal-ministeru tiegħu P. Salvino serva f’diversi kunventi u ħadem anke fil-Kulleġġ Santu Wistin fejn għallem u ħadem anke bħala Rettur. Imma l-aktar ħidma li kkareatterizzat il-ministeru tiegħu hija l-impenn fil-kamp akkademiku u partikolarment fl-istudji patristiċi. Għal diversi snin huwa impenja ruħu fir-riċerka, fil-kitba u fit-tagħlim fl-Universita ta’ Malta, fl-istitut Agostinjan u anke f’entitajiet oħra.

Filfatt huwa serva u għadu jservi bħala direttur tal-Istitut Agostinjan fi ħdan il-Provinċja Agostinjana Maltija. Tul dawn is-snin huwa ppubblika numru kbir ta’ kotba u ttraduċa diversi testi ta’ Santu Wistin għall-lingwa Maltija.

Minn qalbna nawgurawlu ħafna aktar saħħa u ħidma fl-għalqa tal-Mulej.
