Friends and Supporters of the Foundation

The Friends and Supporters of the Foundation can play a special role in the development and growth of the Foundation's projects in Italy and worldwide. Thanks to their help it is possible to:

  1. Create and develop new host production workshops in different countries of the world, with two main aims: to involve fragile people by giving them a new dignity through work and to witness a Eucharistic culture that knows how to spread to believers and non-believers the mystery of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist;
  2. Share and organize the journey of the Lampedusa Cross, built with the wood of sunken boats, in those countries where people run away from wars and hunger. Through these trips we want to be witnesses of a suffering humanity on the run.
  3. Allow many children in a social emergency from all over the world to participate in the "Piccola Orchestra dei Popoli" project;
  4. Participate in the various initiatives of the Foundation, also in the proposal, planning and verification phase of the expected results.


Artist Friends

It is also thanks to the support and contribution of many artist friends that we can continue to spread the spirit and mission of the Casa dello Spirito e delle Arti Foundation. These artists with their talent and their works contribute to the human and spiritual development of many people in state of difficulty.
