Who we Are and what we do
Casa di Rifugio seeks to provide a place where displaced, challenged and disillusioned people can feel at home. We are committed to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and helping rebuild the lives of those who have faced perilous journeys to get to Sicily.
We have activities for men, women and children, so social, learn Italian and English, have access to laundry and a shower, and social gatherings to provide a sense of belonging. It is in this context we share the beauty and love of what Jesus has done for us and invite others to join us in seeking to know God better.
We also have free classes aimed at them. We are part of Assemblies of God World Missions.
