On the occasion of the Christmas Novena, the SDC Youth group gathered at the General House (Blata l-Bajda) on Tuesday, 17 December 2024. This event provided an opportunity for the young people to reflect on how the birth of Baby Jesus strengthens us with hope. Natalino Camilleri shared insights on how every Christian should act as a missionary of hope by sharing in the suffering of others. With the help of St George Preca’s, The School of Bethlehem, the participants contemplated how Baby Jesus teaches us the virtue of poverty and how it helps us let nothing hinder us from loving him. This reflection took place in the presence of the Baby Jesus in the Eucharist. The activity concluded with some social time where the young people exchanged their Christmas and New Year wishes.
