Welcome to the homepage of the Cenacolo Community.
For those who are new to our ministry, the Cenacolo Community is a covenant community which was established in 1992 and is based in Malta. It is a transgenerational community made up of about 260 people from different walks of life: families with kids, teenagers, young adults, singles and young married couples. The reason we exist is summed up in our mission statement 'Sharing God's love and truth'. Through various Diakonia Groups, the Community outreaches to teens, youth, adults and young engaged couples preparing for marriage. It's main charism is with youth. The various ministries have their own sub teams, outreach meetings, programs and events yet form part of the same community which meets altogether to worship God and for spiritual formation twice a month. In this way we live the richness of our 'unity in diversity'. The community's Leadership Team and Council are also responsible for giving pastoral care, spiritual companionship and leading one of the numerous cenacolo small groups which every member belongs to.

God bless you

His Holiness Pope Francis' first six weeks
25-04-2013 | | 
“Looking to the final judgment must never frighten us…Rather, it urges us to live the present better. With mercy and patience, God offers us this time so that we might learn every day to recognize him in the poor and the small, might strive for the good, and might be vigilant in prayer and love,” so that when he comes he will find us his good and faithful servants. These were the concluding words of His Holiness Pope Francis, as he addressed the crowd gathered at St Peter’s Square yesterday. | | read more |
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI message for Lent 2013
15-02-2013 | | 
Entitled, "Believing in charity calls forth charity", and based on the scripture in 1John 4:16, "We have come to know and to believe in the love of God for us", Pope Benedict XVI puts his message for this year's lent in the context of the Year of Faith. He starts off his greeting by saying that "the celebration of Lent,...offers us a valuable opportunity to meditate on the relationship between faith and charity: between believing in God - the God of Jesus Christ - and love, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and which guides us on the path of devotion to God and others." | | read more |
Journey of the Heart
10-12-2012 | | 
The weekend Journey of the Heart, that took place at Porziuncola Retreat House between the 23rd and the 25th of November, was well attended by a good number of young, single community members. For many, this weekend proved to be a blessing and an eye-opener on how one can embrace and seek to grow during this time of being single. From what many had to share, the talks by Andrew Consiglio and Paul Vincenti were inspiring, as were the workshops Konrad Borg and Becky Tabone gave. The weekend came to an end with mass, celebrated by Fr Claude Portelli. What follows are just some of the testimonies... | | read more |
Tania Agius shares her experience of this year's Community weekend

The theme “Strengthened in Faith” is a topic close at heart especially at the beginning of the year of faith declared by Pope Benedict XVI. As St. Paul declares in Philippians 3:7-9, “But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.”
