The Center fosters a style of life in which intellectual research, spirituality, the apostolate, and the practical, concrete aspects of everyday life are integrated. This is achieved by persons and churches encountering each other, finding inspiration in traditions, letting themselves be questioned by current issues, embodying a theology that translates itself in the pastoral and a pastoral activity that flows into reflection. Artistic creation contributes to giving form to and stimulating a precise methodology, in a way that theology, spirituality, liturgy, and culture constitute a living organism.

Areas of Activity

Hospitality for scholars and artists who are living and working at Centro Aletti for a period of time.

Courses, spiritual exercises, seminars and conferences that Centro Aletti organizes on- and off-site in collaboration with other institutions. The principle themes dealt with, in light of the Eastern and Western tradition, are spirituality and formation, theology in dialog with contemporary culture, as well as art and liturgy.

The Atelier of Spiritual Art is a place where art and faith may meet, not in an artificial manner but in the artistic creation itself, deepening the relationship between art and liturgical space at the theoretical and practical level of work. In fact, the Atelier creates works within liturgical spaces.

Publications through the Lipa publishing house support Centro Aletti’s activity. Books that mature at the Centro Aletti school are characterized by this existential approach to the Christian treasures of the East and the West in a way that one seeking spiritual nourishment for faith in these years of European transition toward a new unity might draw from them.
