When Disaster Strikes

Join us in the FRENCH Catholic Cafe as we welcome Dominic de la Rouchefocauld-Montbel, the Grand Hospitaler for the Order of Malta, as he discusses how the Order brings hope and healing to the people who need it most in the lands far and near that are laid low by disaster.
Vocation Of A Knight
The Order of Malta is a religious order that is over 900 years old. The members of this order are knights and dames who have devoted themselves to caring for the sick and the poor and defending Christ’s Holy Church. Because it is a religious order, some of these knights have taken solemn vows. So how were they called? And do you think you might be called to this vowed religious life? Join us in the FRENCH Catholic Cafe as we welcome His Most Eminent Highness Fra Matthew Festing, Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta to discuss his personal call to religious life.
