📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The project was born from the collaboration of IBO Italy with the congregation of the sisters of Maria Stella Matutina of Fontanellato (Parma), a religious community of 20 sisters from 10 different countries. The sisters arrived in 2016 in the ancient 16th century Domenican monastery in Fontanellato. Part of the sisters’ day is dedicated to humble and qualitative work. The dimension of work occupies an important place in the community in addition to prayer and study. The monastery needs much restoration work, much has already been done but much remains to be done.

💼 What the programme involves

A part of the convent has not yet been restored: painting and reorganization of the large park of the convent are planned in particular. General renovation works: cleaning, stuccoing, painting and possible paving in some places of the structure outside the monastery that will be used as a larger and future independent guest house.

🏠 Accommodation on site

At the monastery guesthouse, on the second floor of the monastery with 11 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a large room with kitchen. Double rooms are available. Lunches will be served in the refectory of the guesthouse, the dinner will be organized by volunteers on their own.

📍 About the location

The monastery is situated in centre, close to the Sanctuary and Rocca San Vitale, 25 Km from Parma. Possibility to visit Parma, Bologna, La Spezia (to swim after work) but also in Fontanellato there are swimming pools and a nice historical centre.
