Kemm storbju, kemm ġenn, għajjejt!

Ħafna drabi, hekk ngħidu meta l-ġenn tal-ħajja jaħkimna. Donna ninsew dak li lilna jiċċentrana, u nispiccaw inħallu s-sitwazzjonijiet jgħejjuna flok niftakru f’dak li hu t-Tama tagħna.

Fir-Randan tajjeb li inti ukoll issib ftit ħin u tieqaf ftit għal-kwiet.

F’dan l-irtir ta nofs ta’ nhar ser inkunu qed nistednuk tieqaf magħna u naraw xi tfisser il-ħniena li Ġesu jixtieq joffrilna. Il-Ġublew huwa mument fejn il-ħniena ta’ Alla nistgħu ngħixuha u niċellebrawha llkoll flimkien. Waqt l-irtir ser nesploraw ukoll kif għandek tipprepara għall-pellegrinag tiegħek personali matul dan ir-Randan u anke jekk forsi ser tgħamel il-pellegrinag f’Ruma.

Imagine a faith community where every young person—regardless of their abilities—feels seen, valued, and truly part of something bigger. No One Gets Left Behind is more than just a seminar; it’s a call to action for youth leaders, animators, and catechists who want to build vibrant, inclusive communities of faith.

As we journey alongside children, adolescents, and young people with different intellectual abilities, we are challenged to grow—to listen, to learn, and to share what works. These seminars will help us deepen our understanding, exchange experiences and best practices, and ultimately become better at communicating the truth of the Gospel in a way that resonates with everyone.

The words No One Gets Left Behind aren’t just a title; they’re a mission. In our parishes, communities, and groups, we are called to welcome each person as a vital part of the body of Christ. When we create spaces where everyone can belong, participate, and flourish, our communities become stronger, more joyful, and more alive in faith.

Through meaningful discussions, real-life stories, and hands-on strategies, these free seminars will equip us to lead with greater empathy and effectiveness—so that no one is ever excluded or overlooked.

Let’s do this together—because in our ministry,

No One gets left behind.

Every year, between Ascension Day and Pentecost, Christians from all over the world come together in prayer, hoping for greater unity among us all. This year, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity runs from the 18th to the 25th of January, with the theme: “Do you believe this?” (Jn 11:26).

What makes this year extra special is that the Week of Prayer overlaps with the Jubilee of Hope and the Holy Year. As part of the celebrations, we’re joining our Christian brothers and sisters for a Diocesan Ecumenical Service on

Friday, 24th January 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Archpriest’s Church in Siġġiewi.

There’s a lovely reason this parish was chosen. This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea (325), and tradition tells us that the ecumenical saint, St Nicholas of Myra, was part of that very council.

If you’d like to take part in this week of prayer, you can use the booklets below. There’s a Maltese version created by the Maltese Diocesan Ecumenical Council, or you can check out the international English version, put together by the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity and the World Council of Churches’ Commission on Faith and Order.

We’re excited to invite all young people to this year’s World Youth Day diocesan celebration, Żgħażagħ ta’ Tama, on 

Saturday, 23rd November at 8pm at the Church of St. Dominic and the Blessed Virgin in Rabat!

This year’s theme centers on Hope, and we’ll be reflecting on the lives of four young people who embodied hope in their lives and inspire us to do the same. Fr. Roderick Baldacchino will lead a moment of reflection, followed by a time of prayer to strengthen our own commitment to living in hope.
 
Afterward, we’ll gather for fellowship and light refreshments – a chance to connect and share with each other in a relaxed setting.
 
To help us with planning, we kindly ask that youth groups and individuals wishing to attend fill out the registration form. For youth groups, an estimated count is sufficient. This will help us arrange adequate catering for everyone.
 

Plexus is an annual conference organised by the Malta Catholic Youth Network, specifically designed for individuals engaged in youth and adolescent Catholic groups on our island.

Our goal at Plexus is to foster an environment where youth leaders can be empowered and enriched. We aim to provide a space for individuals, parishes and organisations to come together and share their experiences—celebrating the joyful moments and acknowledging the challenges. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and renew.

Central to Plexus is the opportunity to pray together: for each other, for the youth, and for the Church. This year’s theme, ‘Hear Hear,’ is a call to attune our ears to God and to the young people we are called to serve and accompany.

This year’s conference will take place on the 5th of October at Trident Park, where participants will also enjoy a shared lunch and coffee breaks.

The program includes four reflections, complemented by spiritual conversations in small groups. These sessions will encourage active participation, helping everyone to embrace the virtue of Hope as the Catholic Church soon embarks on the Jubilee of Hope.

It-10K huwa kors fuq l-10 Kmandamenti imma mhux ħa noqogħdu naħlulek il-ħin ngħidulek ma toqtolx, ma tisraqx u ma tidgħix.
Dawn huma l-10 Kmandamenti kif qatt ma smajthom qabel!
F’din il-mixja, l-10 kelmiet li Alla ta lill-poplu Lhudi jsiru s-sigriet biex il-bniedem modern jagħmel suċċess fil-ħajja u jkun ferħan.

Dal-kors inħoloq l-Italja u nfirex f’aktar minn 15-il pajjiż. Beda f’Għawdex fl-2019 u se jibda Malta minn dis-sena għaż-żgħażagħ bejn it-18 u l-35 sena.
Vera nsejħulu kors, imma m’hemmx ħlas, assignments jew eżamijiet. Sempliċiment tiġi u tisma’ t-taħdidiet. U jekk tixba’ tista’ ma tiġix aktar u ħadd ma jgħidlek xejn. Fil-fatt ħafna jiġu u jitilqu għax il-kors ma jgħoddx għal kulħadd. Oħrajn imissilhom qalbhom, jifqagħlhom moħħhom u jbiddlilhom ħajjithom.

Jekk trid tibdieh u tara kif tmur, kemm timla d-dettalji t’hawn minħabba loġistika.
U bilħaq, parking mhux problema.
