The theme is: ‘Spirituality in Action: Chaplaincy in a Challenging Context’. Irish Jesuit Leon Ó Gioláin (pictured here) will attend, while Fr.

Malta: Mount Saint Joseph

St JosephOur base in Malta is Mount Saint Joseph retreat house, which is on the edge of Mosta, the largest town in Malta. It is run by the resident Jesuit community.

The Jesuits and the Dominicans are the most scholarly of the religious orders in the Roman Catholic Church, but they are very down-to-earth. The Jesuits are particularly good at using Scripture and the imagination - both head and heart. They take ecumenism for granted and people of all denominations are welcome to make retreats at Mount St Joseph.

Mount St Joseph was purpose-built as a retreat-centre and the building is light and airy. Although it is on the edge of a town, the extensive grounds and the views make for a peaceful and prayerful atmosphere.
