Fall/Winter Spiritual Initiative

The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta has enriched the spirituality of thousands of people throughout the centuries. The humanitarian acts performed by members of the Order serve as prime examples of what it is to be Disciples of Christ. We do this by following the teaching of the Gospels. We gain inspiration to continue to carry out our ministries and we enrich our spirituality through readings and/or reflections or meditations presented by our spiritual leaders and chaplains.

The Fall-Winter Spiritual Initiative is a new program that will run from November 2020 through April 2021.

The program consists of six modules that will focus on six different spiritual topics that will enrich our faith. Each month, a different chaplain will present a short talk that is designed to give you insight into the unique spirituality of the Order of Malta.
