The Order’s Christmas support, country-wide, for those in need
Around the country, Companions and members of the Order of Malta have prepared a range of Christmas treats for those in need – for their homeless guests, for refugee children from Ukraine, for the elderly in the Order’s OSJCT care homes. From special Christmas suppers to warm winter clothing, from Christmas cards to Christmas parcels, their work gives testimony to the Order’s mission to help those in need, whoever they are, from wherever they come, and especially at this time of year, bringing warmth and hope in a difficult world.

History
About
The mission of the Order of Malta is inspired by its tradition of ‘Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum’, to assist the poor and the sick, and bear witness to the Christian faith.
The Sovereign Order of Malta is a sovereign subject of international law. The Order – which is based in Rome, in via Condotti – has its own Government, an independent magistracy, and bilateral diplomatic relations with 110 countries.
The Order of St John of Jerusalem is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilisation. Present in Palestine in around 1048, it is a lay religious Order, traditionally of military, chivalrous, noble nature.
