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. 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.
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.
What to expect
The reflections begin by grounding us in the essential practice of personal prayer, reminding us that our intimacy with Jesus must never be overshadowed by our busy schedules, no matter how well-intentioned. From this foundation, we move into discernment, where we bring our youth group plans to Jesus, ensuring our decisions align with the true purpose of our mission.
As we widen our perspective, we consider how our youth groups can align with the global Church’s path, especially as we enter the Jubilee of Hope. Here, we learn the importance of spiritual conversations, practicing attentive listening to find and foster hope within our community.
Finally, we reflect on the power of intercessory prayer, which not only supports our physical work but also connects our youth with God.
This journey culminates in the celebration of Mass, where we are spiritually nourished together.
The conference will be held from 8:30am to 5pm, with a registration fee of €10. This fee includes full access to the conference, all amenities of the premises, coffee breaks, and a buffet lunch.
