Don Orione laid the first stone of this center in 1935. Today, more than 400 people with disabilities live here, receiving round-the-clock care from teams of professionals, religious members and volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The center has schools, art workshops, rehabilitation facilities and activities designed to help residents develop greater independence. Marta Torres spent years searching for a place like this she could call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MARTA TORRES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I was born with a disability. My mother abandoned me the day before my birthday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Through several personal testimonies, the pope heard the stories of people whose lives have been shaped by illness and difficult family circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But also how they found a new family here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The values of dignity, inclusion and brotherly friendship that define places like this have a great deal to teach our societies, which are often driven solely by the pursuit of economic success or the worship of physical appearance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leo XIV drew on three places from the life of Jesus in his reflection: Bethlehem, Nazareth and Bethany. Each offers an example of inclusion and friendship. Together, they point to a way of building communities where everyone belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, I want to affirm that your lives are not a burden to society. They are a blessing, because you can help us remember the foundation of every human being's dignity and what truly matters in life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a mission at the heart of the Cottolengo: making sure no one has to search for a place where they feel loved and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daniel del Castillo Gonz\u00e1lez Don Orione laid the first stone of this center in 1935.
