Santa Maria: Community and Peace Accords

santa maria: The organization is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding, according to Metro News. Since your community was born, the world has become global, the pope said while addressing Sant'Egidio volunteers in the ancient Santa Maria in Trastevere Basilica, where the community has sheltered the homeless on especially cold nights. The pontiff spent the afternoon with the Sant'Egidio Community, which has mediated peace accords in Africa and helped war refugees make it to Italy safely. But for many people, especially the poor, new walls have been lifted, Francis said. A globalization of solidarity and of the spirit still awaits to be built. Diversity is an occasion for animosity and conflict. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
