Our vision
We are an international Anglican community of permanent and semi-permanent residents centred at the historic church of the Ascension in Cadenabbia, Lake Como, Italy.
We welcome visitors and those living and working locally of Christian belief to share in the joy and love of God, meeting Christ in worship, prayer and reflection and in other community activities.
We aim to offer an inclusive, healing and thoughtful space and welcome to all; to strengthen and grow our community and its members spiritually, supporting and encouraging one another; to take responsibility for the ministry of the Church, including the historic building; and to reach out generously to others.
