Cantru Pastorali Sghajtar is a youth center situated in Naxxar, Malta. It accepts youths starting from 14 years onwards. Currently the youngest member is 13 and the oldest 20. The center is usually open on Fridays and Saturdays. Every Friday, there is a religious meeting, from 7:30 till 8:30 P.M. After, the basement is opened as a recreational center for those who attend. Religious and social activities are also organized, such as discos, barbecues, indoor games tournaments, DVD nights, cooking lessons, and pasta or pizza nights.

The center was founded in October 2005 by Dun Frans Abdilla. Some of the original members still attend, and they have been joined by many more throughout the last two years. The committee has been recently re-elected, and has already organized a few activities.

It is currently run by Fr.Ray Zammit, who is doing an excellent job in running the center. He is also in charge of the chapel all functions held in it. His favourite saying to the youths is, in maltese: "il-kejk tajtulkom, issa f idejkom jekk tikluhx", which translated means: "I can only offer you the cake, it is up to you to eat it".^{[citation needed]}
