What you live

  • 1

    The community life of the house, with daily prayer and service to those who arrive.

  • 2

    The Word of the day and the lectio with Fr Valerio.

  • 3

    The city and the Holy Land: the places of salvation visited with those who know them.

  • 4

    Meeting the young people of the Holy Land, through the projects for local communities.

Casa Kerigma is neither a holiday home nor a place of mere hospitality: it is a few days of fraternal, “Upper Room” life, to rediscover one's vocation and recover from fatigue.
