we are
The

Piacenza (Italy). At the end of 19th century when one million Italians were leaving Italy each year, the Scalabrini Fathers followed these migrants all over the world. Today the missionary body and its lay organisations assists all displaced, people irrespective of their religion, and are present in 30 nations in the word. |
