Description
Summary:Bologna, with its 410,000 inhabitants, faces a number problems on account of its rapid growth. Many immigrants, coming from the countryside around Bolo na, from Ferrara and from the South of Italy, have settled on its rapidly growing borders.Living conditions often leave much to be desired. They certainly do not favour social integration.A campaign to build a number of new churches was launched in the Diocese of Bologna. A plan fort the creation of thirty new parishes was adopted in 1955. It indicated the site of each of the new churches according to sound town planning principles.The new parishes, as the various witnesses show, call for team work directed to build up new commu nities. The faithful take an active part in this effort. Integration is achieved on the social as well as at the religious level. This is particularly due to a series of efforts realised at the parish level and directed towards young men and women.
