ACTS
ACTS is a Catholic school outreach project which exists to help students in the upper forms of secondary schools in Malta appreciate and discover the relevance of cultivating a sincere spiritual life. The project also seeks to overall contribute to the strengthening of the moral fibre of today’s youth. The composition of the group itself, mainly young volunteers, complements the approach and method used to make the programme offered as dynamic and effective as possible.
ACTS Teens
After a restructuring of the teen section of Youth Fellowship, ACTS Teens was formed in 2007 as an extension to ACTS to provide follow-up meetings for students who have attended the ACTS’ sessions. Modelled on the sessions offered in schools, ACTS Teens are meetings held after school hours at the Tabgha Foundation premises in Blata l-Bajda for students who wish to find further support in their spiritual growth and meet other students from various schools who are also seeking such help.
ACTS Teens organises meetings on Fridays, once every fortnight, that address challenging issues relevant to teens and their daily realities. Prayer is a crucial part of the meeting because it is the foundation on which the meetings are built and a fundamental part of our beliefs. Social events, like film nights and hikes, are also organised throughout the year, together with live-ins and retreats to further encourage and aid the teens in their spiritual development and relationship with God and others. These meetings are led by a team of 20 young people, in collaboration with the ACTS’ full-time volunteers.
