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

Lent with the Saints by Ann Mifsud
14-03-2012 | | 
We’re already midway through lent, a time to rejoice at being given yet another opportunity to reflect and meditate with Christ Jesus the direction our life is taking; a time of healing, blessings and purification; a time for the soul to be nourished in various ways – through our cenacolo retreats, Lenten sermons, the daily readings at mass – all helping us to recognize how we’ve sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and reminding us that we can re-embrace God’s mercy and forgiveness. | | read more |
Advent - A New Experience by Helga Consiglio
14-12-2011 | | 
The Christmas period is a special time for children. By end of November, James (our 6year old) had already convinced us to decorate the house, and was super excited when they decorated his class at school. When I think of my own memories, they are somehow tainted by other unpleasant life events but I still cherish the sense of expectation, the joy and peace all around (although I’m not sure if it was real or perceived!). | | read more |
Maria Deguara shares her experience in Ethiopia
14-11-2011 | | 
Nothing and no-one could have ever prepared me for the immensity of the experience that I have been through in Ethiopia. It has truly been one of the best things that has happened in my life! In the end of July, a group of other five people and I, all new to Ethiopia except for Manwel, left Malta on a five and a half week venture. I had wanted to do this experience for many years, and although this time round I had many fears, I decided to just do it, and of course today I do not regret it for a second. | | read more |
Youth Arise on The Rock by Pierina Mercieca
06-10-2011 | | 
Re-visiting Gibraltar for me meant seeing familiar faces from my first visit there with ACTS 09, attempting to see the monkeys and dolphins which I had missed the first time round and to listen to my friends’ caving adventure for yet another time. It is indeed amazing how much such a small territory of less than 7 km squared, has to offer to its visitors. However, the main aim of this pilgrimage was to Go and See what the widely acclaimed pre-World Youth Day conference, Youth Arise was all about. My expectations were over fulfilled and today I appreciate its usefulness in how it welcomes the pilgrim to embrace the Word of God emotionally, spiritually and also rationally speaking. | | read more |
The Lord is My Shepherd - A Personal Reflection by Eleanor Grech
15-09-2011 | | .jpg)
The Book of Psalms is one of my favourite books in the Bible. I enjoy praying with the Psalms and I am glad to say that I know quite a few of them by heart. The great thing about that is that they are there, at hand, all the time; and I can recite them in the secrecy of my heart anywhere and anytime. The Psalms bring comfort to my heart because I can express any sort of emotion, request and petition that perfectly matches my heart’s prayer and desire, when I am in communion with God. Every time I read them I find myself there and I very much identify with most of them, most especially Psalm 51! | | read more |

26-02-2012
Preparations for the celebrations of Youth Fellowship's 25th Anniversary are well under way. This is a great opportunity for the Cenacolo Community to thank God for honouring us with 25 years of Youth Fellowship. Throughout these years, thousands of youth, have attended talks, seminars, and retreats in the various initiatives taken up by Youth Fellowship. It has been a journey of blessings, seeing God's hand print all along. He has been faithful in using us, earthen vessels, to proclaim the Good News in an era which desperately needs to hear that God's love and mercy have not changed. | | read more | | Archbishops Pastoral Letter for Lent 2012
24-02-2012
As we embark on this special time of Lent, we are reminded by our Bishops to reflect on the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. In their pastoral letter this year, the Bishops propose that we reflect on the Exile, starting from that experienced by God's chosen people in the Old Testament, the exile experienced by Jesus himself here on earth, and finally the exile in the context of our culture and in the time of lent. | | read more | |
