2/11/2025 Order of Malta Feast Days |
Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and the World Day of the Sick
February 11th is an important day in the life of members of the Order of Malta. In addition to being the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, it is the annual observance of the World Day of the Sick. Saint Pope John Paul II began the observance of the World Day of the Sick, in conjunction with the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, to raise the level of awareness of the sick and the role to which Christ calls each of us – to tend to their needs. For members of the Order of Malta, that is part of our charism in our path to spiritual growth. |

American Association Retreat: Winter 2025
The American Association is holding its next Spiritual Retreat from Friday, February 21 through Sunday February 23, 2025, at the Bethany Retreat Center in Lutz, Florida. Lutz is 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Our retreat master, Bishop Frank J. Caggiano, ChC, will be speaking on the theme, “Profiles in Discipleship” basic qualities that a disciple needs to embrace personally to become an agent of renewal in the life of the Church. All members are encouraged to attend; candidates in their year of formation and new members who have not been on an Association’s three-day retreat are particularly encouraged to attend. It is important to recognize that a three-day retreat, such as the Bethany Retreat, is very different from a morning of recollection or a day of reflection. Click here to log in and register. |

Pilgrimage to Ireland
The American Association of the Sovereign Order of Malta would like to extend to you an invitation to join Rev. Msgr. Robert Ritchie, GCChC, and the Irish Association on a unique opportunity to celebrate 850 years of the Order of Malta in Ireland. In June of 2025, we will journey to Ireland and visit many iconic religious and natural sites. Daily mass will be celebrated at beautiful churches and chapels such as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Knock, the Fr Patrick Peyton Centre, Galway Cathedral, St John’s Cathedral in Limerick, and Killarney Cathedral, to name a few. We will celebrate a special Nativity of St John’s Day Mass with the Knights and Dames of the Irish Association. Marian Pilgrimages of Dublin and Boston will facilitate our pilgrimage and have secured 4-star accommodations throughout for our comfort. The Irish Association will coordinate one or two local events within our itinerary so we can see and interact with their ongoing work projects. They have a national-wide ambulance service and are keen for us to visit/socialize with these volunteers. Their member base is relatively small at about 160, but they expect some of their historians will be available at locations with rich Order of Malta history to explain and bring that history to life for us. This will certainly be much more than your typical Irish tour and truly a unique opportunity to celebrate 850 years of the Order in Ireland. |
