Friday 10 May will be remembered as a very special day in our college calendar as Rev. Fr Arturo Sosa, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, paid a visit to our three schools.

Fr Sosa started his full day visit at our Primary School where he was welcomed with a loud chant of ‘bienvenido’ by students and staff that gathered in the school gymnasium to welcome the Superior General.

Students prepared some questions for him, as well as a dance and a moment of prayer. He also unveiled a commemorative plaque which was prepared for this special occasion.

He then moved on to the Sixth Form where Fr Sosa celebrated mass, together with members of the Jesuit Community of our college. During his sermon, the Fr General told youths that they can make a difference in today’s society. “Use your voice well,” he told those present.

Fr. Arturo Sosa then he headed to the secondary school. Here he first met with all the students, who also held a number of performances.

“To be with and for others means to be people who cannot love God without loving their neighbour. This is the portrait of a student in a Jesuit school,” he said in his speech.

He later addressed all the staff from the three schools.

“To be magnanimous, that is, to have a big heart and a big mind. Desiring great things and therefore doing well even the small things of daily life with a heart open to God and to others, educating young people in generosity, a very important task today considering the crisis of the family,” he said.

Rector Fr Jimmy Bartolo then presented Fr Sosa with three small gifts to remember his visit here at College.

In the afternoon, Fr Sosa visited the sports complex which, in collaboration with Vassallo Group, is being renovated under the name of Mediterranean College of Sports.
