Il-pellegrinaġġ, li qed jiġi organizzat mill-Assoċjazzjoni Publju ta’ Malta, se jsir għaliex din is-sena qed jiġu mfakkra l-1950 sena mill-martirju ta’ San Pawl Appostlu.

Europe is today more than ever a complex reality. “Plural” Europe also includes the need to tackle challenges together. A pluralist culture strongly marked by secularism and individualism is gaining ground. Nevertheless, the will to share common values, founded in Truth, along with desire for God is growing more and more, especially among younger generations. The Catholic Church recognizes in the present time an opportunity to live and witness with renewed commitment the joy of the Gospel of Jesus: a God who has assumed the human condition out of love, providing humankind with his support even at the most difficult times of history…

Oħloq Tbissima Marathon will take place between noon of 14th July 2017 and midnight of 16th July 2017. This is the 15th edition of this live broadcasting marathon, organised by CAM Productions international, which is aimed at raising missionary awareness and raising funds for MSSP missions both locally and in Peru, Pakistan and the Philippines.

Presently, funds are needed to change some rooms into a small apartment so that boys who are 16 years or older can start living more independently whilst still being cared for and guided…
