Polka, Dots and Cherries

Posted on Mon 14th May, 2012

Friday the 13th of April marked at another successful fund raising event for SPYS, where an amount of €1400 euros have been raised in aid of Mamma Margerita home, a project pioneered by the Salesian Community in Malta. This event was held at VGen Paceville, and the music by Dj Geez took us on a journey throughout the 50s and 60s era. Special thanks goes to our sponsors who made this event possible: VGen, Dj Geez, Tonio Lombardi photography and Corner Hostel (Sliema).

Along with SPYS members, a wonderful number of 20 volunteers spent a largely sunny weekend together for these activities.

Maundy Thursday Prayer Meeting

Posted on Wed 11th April, 2012

It was perfect weather for the occasion of Maundy Thursday. I could feel the comfortable breeze as we set to prepare the venue for the prayer meeting. As the time to start drew near, everything was ready.
When one entered the chapel, they could feel a sense of peace. The room was dim, relaxing music was being played and the focus was entirely on the Eucharist, which was surrounded by small lit candles.
