Description
The Community in is a christian community (Roman Catholic) with an ecumenical vocation. Couples, families and celibates, men and women, have chosen community life to follow Christ and serve the Church and the world. We give our lives to Unity. Everyone is welcome! You don't need to be a religious person to come help us, but we ask you to respect our faith as we respect others'. We encourage dialog and a simple lifestyle.
This is a religious house particularly for young people... We give priority to young people aged 18 to 35.
