From Babel to Pentecost: missionary life in foreign lands
Having ‘nothing’ and at the same time having ‘everything’. Finding the face of God in the face of people. Recognize His love in the lives of others. Be comforted in the heart of one’s brother. Living an ascetic life. But who needs material riches when we have the abundant Providence of the Lord? Each new day brings a new opportunity to embrace the Cross. A new opportunity to be merciful. Our life is a mission. There is no greater joy than to live it. So, I am Wallace and I’m 25 years old. I was born in Fortaleza, Brazil, but today my home is in the mission of the Shalom Community of Rome. God generously chose for me to live ...

Here I am: “youth on mission”
“I would like to travel the earth, preach your name and plant your glorious Cross on the unfaithful ground, but my Beloved, one mission would not be enough for me: at the same time I would like to announce the Gospel in the five parts of the world and in the most remote islands… I would like to be a missionary, not just for a few years: I would like to be one until the end of time.” St Therese of Lisieux   The very idea of having the desire to go and plant the Glorious Cross on the other side of the world for Eternity would have seemed quite extravagant and very inaccessible (even impossible) three years ago. However, ...

History of the Youth for Jesus Project
The founding of the Shalom Work took place through young people who were sensitive to the call of God and, in an innovative way, desired to transform the evangelization of the youth of Fortaleza through an unpretentious cafeteria. Today, we can see that the magnitude of the growth of this seed thrown by God has a strong resemblance to the parable of the mustard seed, and that the soil chosen by the Father, the farmer, was the youth. By 1988, 6 years after the Shalom Catholic Community was founded, the number of members had grown in quantity and diversity, but it was evident that many of the strong features of the work that were implanted by the presence of young ...

Acamps Summer Festival: Time of encounters
My name is Bogumiła and I am from Poland. I’ve known the Shalom Community for almost two years, attending the prayer group in Kraków. I went to the Acamps Summer Festival last year in August. It was truly a wonderful time of joy, praise and worship. It was a time of encounters – a diversity of cultures- with people, with God alive. Held at Balaton lake in Révfülöp, Hungary, the event was filled with enjoyable summer activities, such as various sport events, swimming, concerts, talent shows and dance parties. The Acamps Summer Festival was my first opportunity to ‘touch’ the essence of the Shalom Community: to learn about the charism of this movement, to see the beginnings of all of ...

Protection of minors
Guidelines of the Shalom Catholic Community regarding the Protection of Minors and vulnerable people Introduction 1. The Shalom Catholic Community is a private association of the faithful by Canon Law. Its Charism was born from an experience with the Risen One who passed through the Cross and communicates his Peace to the world (cf. Jo 20:19-29). The foundations of the Charism are contemplation, unity and evangelization. Contemplation generates a peaceful and compassionate heart, satisfied by God and open to mankind. It is from this reconciliation that the Community feels called to reflect the Unity of the Communion of Love of the Trinity. This life of contemplation and unity is the true lever of our evangelization. 2. All the life and ...
