Camp life at the gallop
Grand Master takes the reins
Co.Kildare, 14 August 2013
Grand Master in cracking form
A full day’s programme at the Order of Malta 30th International Summer Camp for Young Disabled saw the Grand Master, Fra’ Matthew Festing, looking in on mask decorating, trying his hand at clay pigeon shooting, checking out the archery, and comparing notes with the mask decorating guests who are preparing to display their creations at Friday night’s masked ball.
But he really hit stride as he whisked horse and carriage around Clongowes field, cheered on by guests and friends. And then it was Austrian guest Christoff’s turn. He smiled all the way.

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.
