What is the Centro Internazionale Giovanile San Lorenzo ?

The Centro Internazionale Giovanile San Lorenzo is a meeting and training center dedicated to young people from all over the world. Located in Rome, one street away from Saint Peter's Basilica, it offers a space for prayer, reflection, and fraternity, inspired by Christian values. Founded in 1983 by Pope John Paul II, it is managed by the Shalom Community since 2018 and welcomes young and not-so-young people of all nationalities for spiritual moments and sharing. The center is also known as a place of passage for pilgrims and participants of the World Youth Days (WYD), providing an environment conducive to spiritual growth and Christian commitment. In the presence of the true Cross of the World Youth Days (WYD), the center offers you the opportunity to reserve a "private" Mass in the intimate setting of the church of San Lorenzo in Piscibus. Additionally, the center is available to rent its spaces for events and other gatherings...

VOICES OF BELIEVERS

 

" I had never heard of the San Lorenzo Youth Center before today. To be honest, it’s really well hidden — almost discreet — and that’s probably why I’ve walked past it several times without noticing it. And yet… what a beautiful discovery! It’s a peaceful, almost intimate place, perfect for quiet prayer away from the crowds. There aren’t too many people, which really allows you to focus on what matters most. And the location is ideal: just a stone’s throw from St. Peter’s Basilica, it’s the perfect spot for a spiritual pause. I’ll definitely be coming back. "
