Opera Santa Maria della Luce
I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
(Jn 8, 12)
Mauro Faina Village
The Mauro Faina Village is a house of coexistence that was born thanks to the generosity of Teresa Faina and the availability of the Opera S. Maria della Luce to create a residential center for young people in difficulty and in need of support.
The spirit of the village starts from the ora et labora of Benedetto da Norcia and intends to give to person a help, regardless of culture, religious belief, respecting and valuing individual resources.
The power of prayer in tune with the luminous message of the Marian shrine of Collelungo finds, a completion with the commitment of every day through the agricultural and artisan work and the various study, cultural and recreational activities that the team of village coordinates and promotes over time.
Fundamental prerogatives are the link with life spiritual, the prayer of the Sanctuary of S. Maria della Luce. Relations with the outside through encounters and experiences lead to the development of the village life itself and, therefore, its inclusion in the social fabric. The extended family style is the leitmotiv of the Mauro Faina Village.
Only the family, nourished by Christian values, promotes the individual in the affective dimension, moral and social. The responsibility and functioning of the Mauro Faina Village lies with the Foundation Tu es Sacerdos - onlus in collaboration with the Associazione Comunità Nazareth - onlus and with the Labor Cooperative Society, agricultural and artisanal, which promotes employment activities for those who live in the village.
