Last Sunday, hundreds of people attended and participated in a mass organised at the parish church of St Sebastian in Qormi. This beautiful celebration gathered together people from all walks of life, children, young people, adults, families with children, elderly, persons with different abilities, leaders of other organisations, religious and lay people.

The mass was celebrated by the Bishop Joseph Galea Curmi, together with a large number of priests who were active or are still active in the groups within the Catholic Action in Malta. Also present was Don Stefano, the spiritual director responsible for the youth section within the Catholic Action of Romania.

After mass, a reception for the members and volunteers was organised. It was a unique moment where the young people and adults could socialise and celebrate in a positive environment.

Days like these remind us that the Catholic Action is on a journey, within the Church, and just like any journey, it is important to remember where you left off and where you have passed through, but you also need to look ahead with hope and enthusiasm. The Bishop himself, during the homily mentioned that the Catholic Action has formed people that made and continue to make a difference in Maltese society along the years. The Catholic Action needs to continue to plant hope and love, so what it reaps, it sows.
