Esperjenza fil-Qrib mar-Redentur

F’dan ir-Randan qed nistiednu liż-żgħażagħ u adolexxenti jingħaqdu għal siegħa adorazzjoni quddiem is-Sagrament u r-Redentur tal-Isla. Flimkien mal-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna, nixtiequ li din tkun siegħa ta’ talb fejn aħna nikkontemplaw il-misteru ta’ Alla fid-dawl tal-Passjoni ta’ Ġesù. Din l-adorazzjoni ser issir fil-Bażilika ta’ Maria Bambina l-Isla, u ser tkun animata mill-band Footprints.

Din l-adorazzjoni qed issir b’kollaborazzjoni mal-Parroċċa tal-Isla.

The Forum for Youths and Adolescents

In 2021, Archbishop Scicluna took the initiative to establish forums providing a space for meaningful conversations with adolescents and youths. Two distinct forums, one dedicated to adolescents and another to youths, were launched. Invitations were extended to two representatives from each youth organization to ensure diverse participation, with the groups rotating every three years to represent the broad spectrum of organizations. An email notification was sent to every youth organization, informing them of the opportunity to participate in these engaging forums.

 
 
 

Creating the network – Plexus 2017

We at MCYN believe in the importance of being united. If we want our young people to accompany each other on this journey we must start from ourselves.

Plexus was the first event held for youth leaders by MCYN. With over 130 participants from over 35 different young organisations, we strived to create an atmosphere where we can build a real community of practice supported by our fundamental life mission to be disciples of Jesus.

Fr. Dermott Donnelly, who has had over 25 years of experience with youth work in the UK, was our guest speaker and spoke to us about the importance of being in Christ as a core value for our leadership role. It is essential that we as leaders put our prayer life before our work with young people. It is only through that intimate relationship that we are called into action, and that is to love and serve God’s young men and women.

We’ve had a lot of time to discuss and talk to one another, we’ve shared our dreams, visions and also the hardships we encounter on a daily basis. The atmosphere was electric, the closer we got together in prayer, the closer we got to one another. The more we shared with one another, the more we grew stronger as leaders, enriched by one another’s experience.

We want to keep this momentum going. Plexus will be our yearly gathering as leaders. We want Plexus to be an event that supports, strengthens and equips us to be better leaders.

We will soon be announcing the dates for our Youth Leaders Day Seminar and for Plexus 2018.
