Thanksgiving Celebration (Gozo)
31 December, 2025
SDC members, candidates and aspirants of the Delegation of Malta and Gozo gathered at St Joseph Parish Church in Qala, Gozo, on Tuesday, 30 December 2025, to celebrate and give thanks to the Lord God for the special grace of the five new members who were incorporated on Saturday, 27 December.
Monsignor Lawrence Sciberras, Ecclesiastical Assistant for the Diocese of Gozo, presided over a Mass of Thanksgiving, which was also attended by the parents of the newly incorporated members. In his homily, he highlighted the many reasons for gratitude to God for the great good accomplished through the Society of Christian Doctrine.
After a break at the SDC centre of Qala, everyone reconvened in the church for a celebration that included reflections and prayers on the SDC vocation, as well as short messages by the new members themselves.
The Superior General concluded the occasion with his address, encouraging continued growth in devotion to St Joseph, particularly through the living of the virtue of silence, and to Eugenio Borg, the first Superior General.
Following the celebration, the SDC centres were able to share free time together for the rest of the day.
