The Embrace of God's Mercy: Mother Elvira and the Story of Community Cenacolo, Paperback

Founded in 1983 by a poor Italian nun, Mother Elvira Petrozzi, Comunita Cenacolo began in an abandoned old house in Saluzzo, Italy. Today, with over 2,000 members worldwide, the community is a free, fully residential Catholic program for people seeking to overcome substance abuse.

This is Mother Elvira's story of her community's founding and growth and of the powerful principles that guide its uniquely successful programs.
