Istituto Missioni della Consolata

Ci.I just passed FRONT but I think it's nice the parish to which I belong you are from there and I'm good

I was there for the first time. Peace and welcome

Place of recollection and prayer. The homilies are interesting and, in short, they manage to get you involved and make you meditate! Fathers always ready to welcome you.

It is a place where I attended Anaci courses. The room is very spacious and can be seen from all points, but it has no sockets to connect PCs or mobile phones. Good acoustics.

Welcoming and cordial, presenting an upcoming multimedia and cultural exhibition center on the world of missionaries

It is the Mother House of the Consolata Missionaries, that is the religious members of the male religious institute of pontifical right founded in 1901 by the then Canon Giuseppe Allamano and Turin headquarters of the Missionary Sisters of the Consolata, a female religious institute founded in 1910 by the same Canon Allamano, In 2007 at the Consolata Missions Institute the status of Non-Governmental Organization has been officially recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The building, built at the beginning of the 20th century and inaugurated in 1909, occupies the block between C.so Ferrucci, via Cialdini, via Bruino, via Coazze. The terrible aerial bombardment of Turin on December 8th 1942 caused the collapse of the roof and the top floors, which were rebuilt in the immediate post-war period. It is the Turin residence of Consolata Missionaries, present and courageously active in the Missions in Africa, Latin America and Asia, often in difficult and dangerous situations, choosing to support and defend the dignity of local populations, such as the Indios of the Amazon, to whom they come denied the most basic human and civil rights. Headquarters of the Missionary Animation Center, a missionary library and the editorial office of the monthly "Missioni della Consolata" In the incorporated church there is the sepulcher of the founder of the Institute: Blessed Giuseppe Allamano (* 21 January 1851 +16 February 1926) who was for many years rector of the Sanctuary of the Consolata in Turin, to which the church itself is entitled. On the side of the sepulcher you can visit a room of the Memory of the Blessed Canon Allamano, by Giacomo Camisassa (* 27 September 1854 + 18 August 1922) who was a precious collaborator of the Allamano in the foundation of the Institute, and of all the deceased missionaries. Periodically, missionary training courses are organized for volunteers and Swahili language courses at the Mission Animation Center. In the building there is also an Ethnographic and Natural Sciences Museum. Unfortunately the main entrance to the Church of Allamano is not accessible to disabled people due to the presence of a staircase.

Worthy missionary institution that is bringing humanitarian aid especially in central Africa. Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique for 120 years, but also in Brazil. It took its name from the most beautiful Baroque Basilica in Turin, where it was born. Personally, I met several missionaries from Bergamo (Rossini, Moratti, Deleidi) and also Bishop Gritti who worked in the Brazilian Amazon. I personally experienced the missions, all well maintained and all well organized. Some very beautiful, like that of Father Deleidi in Mombasa in kenya or that of Morogoro in Tanzania where even the main mission of Dar Es Salaam is organized like a hotel and located on a very important avenue not far from the ocean and the famous American Embassy. destroyed in the Islamic attack. The numerous missions are at the strategic distance of the kilometers that can be traveled in a comfortable day's drive and wind up to the region of the great lakes where there is also the large hospital that Father Moratti managed in the 1970s and that he himself made me visit during one of my early millennium trips. I still vividly remember the Matembwe mission located over a thousand meters above sea level where I found a special climate and luxuriant agriculture.
