Following the success of last year's events, the main organizations will be organizing a series of activities to renew and revive the 'Ghajnsielem Week' tradition.

The Ghajnsielem Local Council will launch the activities by organizing a day dedicated to the sick and elderly where the the mayor together with the councillors and representatives of the main organizations will try to bring some joy and happiness by visiting the elderly people at home. The council will also be awarding the 'Premju Gieh Ghajnsielem' to a local citizen who has contributed to the development of the Ghajnsielem community. Last year's winner was Loreto Galea who was awarded for his outstanding dedication and commitment to the St Joseph Band Club. A gala-dinner will also be organized.

For the second consecutive year, the GSM Youths will be organizing the MTL FEST 2007. This is going to be held on Friday, 7th of December at the Ghajnsielem Parish Center and will offer over three hours of live entertainment. The event is being sponsored by the Ghajnsielem Local Council.

The St Joseph Band Club will also be playing band marches to commemorate the liturgical Feast of Our Lady of Loreto. This year, there is the possibility that the band march is held on Sunday, 9th of December in the form of a procession although nothing is confirmed yet. More details on this event will be announced soon.

The Anton Cassar Primary School will also be holding its annual Prize Day. The students will be taking part in several cultural activities to enhance this event.

The 'Ghajnsielem Week' is the revival of an old tradition of dedicating 7 days of celebrations for our village. The activities usually involve all the main organizations in Ghajnsielem. The highlight of these activities usually takes place on the 10th of December, on the liturgical Feast of Our Lady of Loreto. This day is also referred by many as 'Jum Ghajnsielem'.
