It is with great pride we welcome you to our Church.

Since 1980, we have served a growing congregation in Padova Province. Today, we are honored to extend our help to all communities of Veneto from our landmark home in Arcella.

Our Church realizes Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s vision that all Churches of Scientology become what he termed Ideal Organizations (Orgs). Ideal Orgs not only provide the ideal facilities to service Scientologists on their ascent to higher states of spiritual freedom, but they also serve as a home for the entire community and a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all denominations.

To that end, we share our Church and our many Social Betterment and Humanitarian Programs with the region. Moreover, we look forward to collaborating with every group and individual committed to improving our culture in the Padova spirit of “freedom universal for everyone.” Together, we can achieve our common dream of a drug-free, crime-free and flourishing future for all.

Our doors are open. Our help is yours.
