On the evening of 26 September 2025, 34 candidates, pre-candidates and aspirants from the SDC centres of the Delegation of Malta and Gozo gathered at Dar Betsajda for a prayer vigil centred on the Eucharist, which concluded with a moment of adoration at midnight.
The following day featured a varied programme, beginning with icebreakers and the celebration of Mass, followed by an encounter led by the Superior General, further times of prayer, and a short reflection on Christian hope. Participants were also encouraged to explore creative expressions of hope through drama, photography and video editing, highlighting how it can be lived and shared in daily life.
Alongside these spiritual and creative activities, the weekend also offered opportunities for meals, games and swimming, allowing participants to deepen their friendships and strengthen their sense of community.
