Guzeppa Debono Home, a volontary organisation within the Diocese of Gozo, works hard to promote life and its priceless value. This was its mission since the very begining, way back to the 8th of December 1985. Actually it is organising a national conference – ‘I am my body’ on Saturday, the 30th and Sunday, the 31st of October, at the Grand Hotel in Mgarr, Gozo.
This activity is open for the general public, particularly to those involved in health and education in Malta. Along these 25 years of service, a considerable number of mothers and families obtained support from this home and its equip. This home gives support to single mothers, holds formation courses and educational programmes in schools, promotes activities in favour of life all year long. A lot of work is being done by volunteers as well as by professionals in the various sectors.
The idea behind this conference on this special occasion, was put forward for educational and awareness purposes. The Home wants to educate the Maltese society which is facing continuous changes in its mentality and character. The topic chosen is very interesting because it will introduce the Catholic Theology of the Body, which is John Paul II’s integrated vision of the human person. As he explains, the physical human body has a specific meaning and is capable of revealing answers regarding fundamental questions about us and our lives.
The keynote speaker is Professor George Woodal, from the Pontifical Academy for life within the Holy See. Other interventions will be done by H. E. Mgr. Mario Grech, Rev. Fr. René Camilleri, from the Faculty of Theology at the University of Malta, Dr. Margaret Spiteri, Gynecologist, Sandra Cortis and Dr. Roderick Bugeja. All those who will be participating can attend for workshops and discuss current issues.
