The Saint Ignatius Foundation celebrated Saint Francis Xavier last 3 December, spending a few hours in the facilities of the Combonian Fathers, where the Centro Astalli in Trento has been welcoming twelve young migrants for a couple of years and, since the end of September, some university students who share their daily lives with peers who come from places of dramatic suffering.

The Eucharist was presided over by Fr. Roberto del Riccio SJ, who encouraged those present to look beyond the borders, cultivating, like Francis Xavier, their inner desires.

Afterwards, the protagonists were the same six university students who live this experience of life, starting from the values of active citizenship and combining together the motto "accompany, serve, defend" and the mission of the Combonian Fathers to spend themselves for others. Hence the nice name given to this innovative project of intercultural coexistence: University Combo. The testimonies of these young people gave a concrete lesson, dialogued and shared, on the beauty of diversity, on the possibility to weave deep, moving and daily relationships, in contrast with today's world that seems to raise the pull of fear and intolerance.

After the direct testimonies, a sober dinner, prepared by some of the organizations that are members of the Foundation, helped to continue the dialogue, nourishing the many diversities that tasted the food.
