An International Community
Comunità Cenacolo is an international community with more than 50 houses
for adults in many nations, including Italy, England, Ireland, France,
Austria, U.S.A., Poland, Russia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia,
Mexico, Brazil, and Peru. Currently, ten of these houses are for women.
In the U.S.A.
There are three houses in the U.S.A., all located in St. Augustine, Florida: Our Lady of Hope (men), Mary Immaculate (men), and St. Maria Goretti, which will eventually become a house for women. The Community accepts men ages 18-40 and women 18-30. The women must enter in Europe, until St. Maria Goretti is renovated.
We are not equipped to handle anyone who is mentally ill, nor do we allow any use of medications. Comunità Cenacolo also has mission houses for children, ranging in age from newborn to 17 years of age, in Mexico, Brazil, and Peru. Some of these children are entrusted to the Community by their families, who are too poor to care for them. Others are homeless, abandoned, or abused.
