To do so, they propose their own specific contributions toward a renewal of society in its concrete forms, through projects and by coordinating the activities of the Micors teams, that is, small groups of volunteers engaged in concrete acts of solidarity toward those living in specific marginal situations (in hospitals, prisons, slums, etc.).
The projects and initiatives that are born from the creative fantasy of love, and that manifest in acts of solidarity and support are many:
Epistolary relationships; Listening Centres in prisons – with the function of listening and/or guiding, if necessary, toward receiving structures that are prison alternatives; mutual-aid groups inspired by Chiara Amirante’s “Art of Loving”; periodical visits to inmates or persons with prison-alternative measures; communities for inmates undergoing alternative measures and/or to encourage their reintegration work and social inclusion.
Volunteering in hospitals and visiting to the sick – with the aim of alleviating the suffering of those who are ill, through the activities of listening, prayer, companionship, non-nursing assistance, spiritual assistance; volunteering in hospices – with the aim of alleviating the suffering of terminally ill people and accompanying them to the encounter with the Father; the realisation and management of reception centres for terminally ill people (the treasure homes).
