No One Gets Left Behind

13/05/2025

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.

📍 Join us for the second session:

St John’s Hall, Archbishop’s Curia, Floriana

31st May 2025

9 am to 12 pm

Katekeżi bi preparazzjoni għall-Ġublew – Pellegrini ta’ Tama

15/01/2025
Zghazagh ta Tama, seminars. Katekezi bi thejjija ghal Gublew

Il-Ġublew beda, u l-bibien infetħu!


Iżda faċilment tgħaddi din is-sena u ma nsibux ftit ħin u nirefflettu fuq din il-ġrajja li sseħħ kull 25 sena.  Il-Ġublew huwa opportunità, għalik u għalija li nesperjenzaw l-imħabba u l-ħniena infita ta’ Alla.


Il-Ġublew – Pelligrini ta’ Tama, mhix biss esperjenza għal min jista’ jattendi xi avveniment f’Ruma, imma hija esperjenza li hija miftuħa għal kullħad, inkluż għalik.

Flimkien nixtiequ ngħixu vjaġġ żgħir sabiex dan il-Ġublew ngħarfu x’jista’ jfisser għalina. B’żewġ katekeżijiet u rtir ta’ nofs ta’ nhar, ser nesploraw kif dan il-Ġublew, jista’ jfisser Tama, imħabba u ħniena għalik ukoll, u kif Alla jixtieqek li twassal din it-tama li inti irċevejt lil oħrajn.

Aħna Pellegrini

l-Ġimgħa 28 ta’ Frar | 7PM

Knisja ta’ Santa Barbara Kappuċċini, Kalkara

Fr Matthew pulis

Il-pellegrin iterraq minn post għall-ieħor sakemm jasal fid-destinazzjoni tiegħu. Il-Papa qed jistedinna nkunu pellegrini ta tama. Xi jfisser dan? U f’liema toroq ser jeħodna?

Lejn il-Ġublew

Is-Sibt 5 ta’ April | 9AM | Is-Seminarju, ir-Rabat

Fr Jethro Bajada & Br Ryan Dalli

Ħafna drabi, fil-ġenn tal-ħajja, ninsew dak li jiċċentrana u nħallu s-sitwazzjonijiet jgħejjuna. Matul dan l-irtir ta’ nofs ta’ nhar, ser nieqfu biex flimkien nesploraw il-ħniena li Ġesu’ jixtieq joffrilna. Il-Ġublew hu mument biex ngħixu niċċelebraw il-ħniena ta’ Alla. Se niskopru wkoll kif nistgħu nippreparaw għall-pellegrinaġġ personali tagħna kemm matul ir-Randan kif ukoll f’Ruma.

It-Tama Tagħna

l-Ġimgħa 24 ta’ Jannar | 7PM | Knisja tal-Ibraġ

Fr Jean-Claude Schembri

Hemm ħafna affarijiet li jokkupaw ħsibijietna, spiss ninħlew newdnu, u ninkwetaw dwar sitwazzjonijiet li ngħixu. Iżda fil-fond tal-qalb tagħna nafu li teżisti t-tama. Flimkien, waqt din il-katekeżi ser nesploraw, mhux x’inhi it-tama, imma min hu!

Welcome to the official Pilgrims of Hope – Youth Page.

We invite you to be a part of these joyous celebrations together with other Maltese pilgrims.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to reconnect with your faith, meet other young Catholics, and immerse yourself in a dynamic, fun, spiritual atmosphere, then we invite you to join the Jubilee of Young people, part of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope celebrations in Rome.

MCYN is organising optional catechesis sessions during our time in Rome, and we’ve got something special lined up for you.

On these tours, we’ll explore cultural, historical, and religious themes connected to our Jubilee 2025 celebration in Rome, focusing particularly on hope and salvation in the cross.

You can join us for both tours or pick the one that interests you most. We’ll visit fascinating and significant pilgrimage sites, with moments for prayer, reflection, and insights into the concept of pilgrimage of hope in Jubilee Rome.

This tour focuses on saints and martyrs of the early church who emulated Christ in their suffering, highlighting the journey of hope from sacrifice to resurrection.

Tour 2: Rome’s Silent Witnesses – 31st July 2025

We’ll delve into the theme of hope and salvation in the cross, exploring Rome as the city of martyrs and pilgrims.

Before booking we invite you to consider the following:
    1. MCYN will not be responsible for flight arrangements. Please note that the prices listed above do not include the cost of flights.
    2. Transport tickets in the packages do not apply for airport transfers.
    3. Minors and accompanying adults. Please remember that MCYN, and the Archdiocese of Malta, cannot be held responsible for any minors being taken to Rome. We are only facilitating the ticket purchases. Please be sure to collect the necessary consent forms, and make sure to have enough accompanying adults per minors. We strongly advise you to speak to the Safeguarding Commission to assess any concerns you may have prior to traveling. You can download the official Jubilee parental consent form; however, we do encourage you to create your own, just in case you should wish to add any other consents.
    4. Lodging mentioned in the packages is listed as parishes and gyms. This would mean that the teenagers and leaders will probably have to sleep on floors, therefore you would need to bring up your own sleeping bag and mats. Since you are responsible for your young people, please make sure that your minors are well protected and that your safeguarding protocols are adhered to.  We also do not have any say on where your lodging will be, it could be close to the centre or on the outside of the city centre. You may also opt to find your own accommodation, if you intend to do so, we encourage you to look into this as soon as possible as prices are already going up.
    5.  We do not know what the ‘10-euro food ticket’ mean. This will be communicated to us at a later stage. However, from past experiences it most probably is pre-prepared food packs from various distributors. However, do consider seeing whether you may need additional food throughout the day, and especially if you would need to cater for any intolerances. Based on past experiences, the places who used to provide food for people with intolerances end up being further away from the areas you may be staying at.  Consider this factor when preparing your final costings.

The official deadline for registration of Maltese pilgrims to the Jubilee of Young is
