Community Mission

The community of Balzan is a place of prayer, daily adoration, listening, and hospitality. It offers a calm setting conducive to reflection, as well as genuine availability to all who come, while remaining particularly attentive to the needs of elderly sisters.

The sisters are committed to prayer and adoration, provide service for the Eucharist, and visit the elderly, the sick, and those who are alone. They offer a listening presence and personalized support, lead various groups, and live a rich fraternal life in service of the local community — with particular attention given to the Polish community in Malta.

“Where charity and love are, there God is.” Franciscan antiphon
