Santa Maria delle Grazie Community
87067 Rossano (Cosenza)
Liturgical prayer, manual work, and hospitality form the heart of this young monastic community, linked to the Taizé community and the Pax Christi movement. During summer months, they welcome groups seeking to deepen their Christian life. Guests participate in guided scriptural reflection, communal and private prayer, and (quite enriching!) encounters with local Church members and groups. Given the small size of the convent, advance notice is required.
