Between 10-16 August 2025 six brothers made their retreat at the sanctuary of Mount Verna, the place where 800 years ago Francis of Assisi received the stigmata of the crucified Christ. Br Walter Vassallo, Br Androe Fernandez, Br Arslan Masih, Br Andre Bonaci, Br Christopher Bilocca and Br Darren Abela dedicated time for recollection to review their adherence to Christ and strengthen their bond with Him. They are grateful for the fraternity in La Verna that welcomed them as brothers and guided them in the retreat through their reflections. Gratitude goes also to the Province of St Paul the Apostle, Malta, and our Benefactors that made this experience possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
