To Enter
Steps:
1. Read the About page on the website.
Please read the entire content of those webpages PRIOR to contacting the Servant of Hope. The information provided will help you determine if Comunitá Cenacolo is appropriate for your needs.
Comunità Cenacolo accepts men ages 18-40 and women 18-30. Because physical labor is integral to the life of Comunità Cenacolo, the Community must assess that the candidate can handle the rigor and demands of the physical working life.
2. E-mail or call the Servant of Hope in your area.
What is a Servant of Hope?
The Servants of Hope are individuals selected by the Community to serve as the first personal contact in specific geographic areas for those interested in learning more about Comunità Cenacolo America. The Servants of Hope provide general information as well as the rich experience of their own personal journey with the Community. After reading the information provided on this website, contact the Servant of Hope in your area to discuss entering Community.
You can find contact information for the Servants of Hope in your area down below.
3. Schedule a Three Day Orientation.
If approved by the Servant of Hope, please contact the Community to set up an appointment for a three day orientation. The three day orientation takes place Monday thru Friday in St. Augustine, Florida. The candidate for entry into Community must be accompanied by BOTH parents. Please arrive at 9:00 a.m. and pick up the candidate promptly at 5:00 p.m. We ask that the candidate and family members find lodging in the area during this time.
The candidate will pray and work with us for those three days, living our daily schedule. At the end of the three days, the young man/woman will meet individually with the director of Comunità Cenacolo America. The parents will meet with the director, as well. If both the family and the Community determine that Comunità Cenacolo is the appropriate answer for the candidate’s need, an entry date will be given shortly after the day of the orientation.
