HISTORY
The Community was founded in February 1968
by a group of Italian students from Lycée Virgilio in Rome under the initiative
of Andréa Ricardi. From 1973, the group gathered and
prayed in the Sant'Egidio church in the Trastevere district. This church,
dedicated to Gilles l'Ermite, Saint Hermit of the 7th century, then gives its
name to the organization. It is now its world headquarters. The Community is
first and foremost dedicated to helping the poorest, in particular through the distribution
of meals and literacy training. It also opens up to the accommodation of the
homeless.
