San Marcellino, a Jesuit work founded in 1945 to support the Genoese who had lost everything because of the war, and which since 1985 has focused on the homeless. Also during the pandemic, their work becomes even more important, isolation and poverty increase day by day, I had the opportunity to see and experience their reality and to appreciate the great significance of solidarity and help towards others.



Walking with the Excluded

SAN MARCELLINO, WHERE LIFE BEGINS AGAIN

Genoa, ItalySan Marcellino has always been close to the poorest of the poor - accompanying the vulnerable and helping them to regain confidence in their own abilities, care for themselves, and start their lives anew. Founded in 1945 to support the Genoese who had lost everything to the war, San Marcellino has focused on the homeless since 1985.For these ministers, the path to rebirth is marked by acceptance, patience upon patience, and essential recognition of "the other." At the heart of the work is the prayer of operators and volunteers.Take a look at our photo essay!© Curia Generalizia della Compagnia di Gesù   |   Photos by Maurizio Gjivovich
