About ASSOCIATION OF ST LAWRENCE COMUNITA CENACOLO AMERICA INC
ASSOCIATION OF ST LAWRENCE — Comunità Cenacolo America is the U.S. arm of the international Comunità Cenacolo movement, a Catholic community that provides residential, faith‑based programs for young people struggling with addiction, marginalization, and related life challenges. The organization operates community houses and hosts events that combine prayer, work, fellowship and pastoral accompaniment as its core therapeutic and rehabilitative practices.
The organization maintains an active web presence and donor-facing operations (including fundraising and an online store), runs annual public events such as the Festival of Life, and is part of a network of houses spanning multiple countries. Comunità Cenacolo America emphasizes voluntary, non‑paid communal living supported by donations and private contributions rather than government funding.
