The Pope John XXIII Community Association is an international association of the faithful of pontifical right.
Ever since its foundation in 1968 by Father Oreste Benzi, it has embraced a practical and constant commitment to combatting marginalisation and poverty. We in the Community bond our own life with that of the poor and the oppressed, living with them 24 hours a day. Direct sharing with the marginalised, the despised and the rejected is not a comfortable route to travel, it forbids us from closing our eyes to injustice.
Today over 41,00 people, the world over, sit at the Community’s table, thanks to over 500 places of sharing provided by family homes, canteens for the poor, reception centres, therapeutic communities,Bethlehem Huts for the homeless, open families. The Community is also active with projects for emergency humanitarian relief and development partnerships and we are present in conflict zones in the form of our non-violent peace corps.
