Welcome to the home page of the Cuban Association of the Order of Malta The Order of Malta, which celebrated the 900th anniversary of Pope Paschal II’s bull Pie Postulatio Voluntatis of 15 February 1113 that placed the Order under the protection of the Holy See, formalizing its spiritual and institutional identity, is one of the oldest religious orders of the Catholic Church and is the first order established that enables the laity to participate in a spiritual life. Its purpose is the sanctification of its members through its Charisma: Tuitio Fidei etObsequium Pauperum, the defense of the faith and service to the poor.
