What is the Mission Center?
Centre for Missions means meeting, adventure, self-discovery and exploration of other worlds. It’s a space open for growthand nourished by beauty. It’s a window onto a new vision of what surrounds us. It’s a training of the gaze that makes seemingly distant realities appear closer and dearer.
Attending the School for Missions and joining the group of volunteers during their training is an opportunity to travel to nearby destinations, like Romania , to faraway places, like Kenya and Burundi in Africa, or all the way to Argentina.
Care is a particularly dear word to us. It represents the compass that guides our exploration of the worlds we land on. For every journey, in your suitcases there’s always room for something personal to bring with you, but also some free room to bring back home an unforgettable souvenir: the sweetness of a look or a smile, the tenderness of a caress, the strength of a hug.

The faces of the Center and the testimonies
Vanna

Martina
The mission enriches you. Thanks to Martina, the official graphic designer of our Missionary Center, who shares her experience in Kenya.
Antonia e Gaetano
Why go on a mission as a couple? Because it's an opportunity to lift your gaze from yourself and to taste the joy of sharing. Thanks to Gaetano and Antonia, missionaries in Burundi.
Michele
The mission is a way to rediscover relationships starting from nature. Thanks to Michele, a missionary in Argentina.
Other Projects
Music in Mission
This project aims to tell the beauty of people and the wonders of God in every corner of the world. It is dedicated to all the musicians who feel moved by the desire to tell stories. Music becomes one of the most powerful and meaningful means to represent the faces, stories, smiles, and tears that we met.
Every year, we commit ourselves to the production of a music video: our musicians and technicians meet the voices and sounds of people in the lands of missions where the Franciscans are present.
