Order of Malta carol concert in London raises funds to help the homeless
In the cold mid winter, a full church, softly flickering candles, splendid Christmas ceremony, and traditional carol singing: the London Companions of the Order organised their annual event on 8 December, attended by members, friends and volunteers who came together, prayed together, sang together.
The concert, held at St James’s Spanish Place, is a fundraiser which goes towards supporting the Order’s soup kitchens in London, Oxford, Colchester, northern Scotland. This December the Companions have packed almost a thousand Christmas parcels of clothing and toiletries which they have distributed around the country to the poor and the homeless.

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.
