Training week-end for candidates

15/03/2026 


On 7 and 8 March, twelve candidates from the 2026/27 intake took part in an intensive training weekend at the Commanderie de Reiden (Lucerne Mittelland). Led by Nicolas de Buman, the session brought together Martin v. Walterskirchen, Verena M. Vorwerk, Hervé de Christen, Michel Veuthey and Father Jacques Papaux, who presented the history, structure, missions and spiritual and international scope of the Order of Malta.

This event enabled the participants, who had travelled from all parts of the country, to meet, exchange ideas and forge bonds of friendship and brotherhood in a convivial atmosphere. The Eucharistic celebration presided over by Father Jacques Papaux offered a moment of profound communion and solidarity in the faith.

The historical richness of the Reiden site provided an ideal setting for the work and meetings. The Order looks forward to continuing the preparatory and formation year with these twelve new candidates.
