Sliema, Malta – October 2023 - From 12th - 15th October, the regional meeting of the Provincial Delegates for Mission Animation of the Cental-North European Region took place in Sliema, Malta. Fr Alfred Maravilla, General Councillor for the Missions, Fr Pavel Ženíšek, from the Mission Sector Team, delegates from Ireland, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the 3 Polish provinces (PLN, PLE, PLS), and Malta were present at the meeting. The meeting was a moment of sharing of information, experiences and praxis on various themes. Fr Alfred Maravilla, shared some information about the upcoming 150th anniversary celebrations of the first missionary expedition of the Salesian Congregation. Part of the celebrations will include a rethinking of the missionary work and spirit in today’s context. One interesting feature of the meeting was a reflective input from a member of the Missionary Society of St. Paul, which is a Religious Congregation founded in Malta, whose charism centres on Missions. His contribution was on evangelisation in Europe today and he based his reflections on those that of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. For this reflective session, the confreres in initial formation currently in Malta, joined the delegates. There was a fraternal and enriching dialogue during the session. The event concluded with a few cultural visits to Valletta, Imdina, and the grotto where St. Paul lived for 3 months when he was shipwrecked in Malta, on his way to Rome.
