Despite the present COVID-19 pandemic, we are cautiously offering, as usual, a programme of religious and spiritual events wherein we friars share our Carmelite Life and Charism with you. As most of you are aware although from last March we had to cancel all onsite programmed events, we have kept contact with you through our daily online mass and online meetings for the Third Order, Spiritual Direction and pastoral assistance for those who requested our support. We also tried to have online sessions of Christian meditation, but unfortunately, it did not work. Although our contact was kept minimal, however, you were all present in our thoughts and prayers. We really missed your presence which along with us friars kept the Priory bubbling with life, sharing and adequate space for prayer, reflection and community building in the Risen Christ. It is our hope that the long COVID-19 pause is purifying us all, inviting us to focus on what is essential in our lives whilst thrusting us into the future with renewed energy.

Despite the present Coronavirus pandemic, the Carmelite Institute Malta is cautiously venturing into another academic year of seminars in the vast field of Spirituality. While it is important to immerse oneself in learning new things and reflect on the essentials of life, especially during these times, now, more than ever, is the moment to come together to share, reflect, and read the signs of the times vis-a-vis the spiritual life. With health and safety precautions put in place, the Institute has invested also in extensive wi-fi connectivity at the Priory so that our activities could be followed both onsite for a restricted number of people (up to 15, upon prior booking) as well as virtually through Zoom.
