Welcome
A vibrant, open Church that is close to the people
Welcome to the website of the Parish of St Agabio. A parish and a community within a neighbourhood that has seen, and continues to see, the arrival of people from various parts of Italy and the world, bringing with them the richness of their cultures, traditions and religions; for this reason, it is constantly evolving and has many faces. If the Church, by its very nature and in keeping with the spirit of the Gospel, is called to welcome, accompany and support, this call resonates all the more strongly for the priests, nuns and volunteers working in the various parish ministries of the Sant'Agabio community, “a welcoming community”
