School of Community

The Religious Sense

The text of the School of Community is The Religious Sense
On May 2, in Milan, the presentation of the new edition of the first volume of Fr. Luigi Giussani's "PerCorso," The Religious Sense, took place.
We offer Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Preface, taken from his public presentation of the Spanish edition, on October 16, 1998 in Argentina, when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires.

Here is the text and video of the presentation of The Religious Sense at the Dal Verme Theatre in Milan on 2 May 2023 with Javier Prades and Davide Prosperi.


"Faith, the fulfillment of reason"

On 23 September, at the Forum in Assago (Milan), the CL Adults' Beginning Day of the Lombardy Region took place.
Notes from the words by Francesco Cassese and Davide Prosperi and the text of Jone Echarri's testimony.

What is it?

School of Community is an fundamental educational tool for those who participate in the life of the movement. It consists of the personal meditation on a text, followed by community meetings. Work is conceived just like a school: its method consists in a comparison between the Christian proposal and life, in order to verify how faith responds to human needs in every aspect of reality. Participation is free and is proposed in study and work environments. Meetings are generally weekly.
