“The Heart of the Order”

“The Heart of the Order” is a video on the Knights of Justice in the Order of Malta.

A message from the former Grand Master, Frá Matthew Festing:

“This film is a key element in explaining the vocation to the First Class, both to existing members and prospective members. Although designed to promote vocations to Justice, it is also serves as a very good introduction to the true nature of the Order. It has already been acclaimed by those who have seen it as a beautiful piece of work, made to the highest standards.

I encourage and urge you to view this film…[it] be shown to all candidates as a compulsory part of their formation programme during the ‘Year of Preparation’ to enter the Order.”
