In the afternoon, before the meeting with the Bishops Oceania Conference, Cardinal Parolin paid an unofficial visit to the Holy Spirit Seminary. After the rector’s welcome speech, the Cardinal addressed to the seminarian about the importance of the four pillars of formation: spiritual, intellectual, human and pastoral. Then his wish was to meet personally and shake hands with each seminarian, and talk to each priest during the short coffee time.
