ilChiostro

Il Chiostro is the official app of "il Chiostro" (https://ilchiostro.it), the new information portal of Italian Catholic Action, the lay association—composed of children, teenagers, young people, and adults—among the oldest and most representative in our country. It is a digital space designed to narrate, explore, and share the life of the association, its ecclesial and cultural commitment, and the experiences that span local areas and communities.
Like a real cloister, it is both a secluded and open space: a place that invites pause, listening, and reflection, yet simultaneously looks up and opens to the world. With the Il Chiostro app, you can easily and instantly access updated content, insights, podcasts, videos, and training courses, wherever you are.

What's in the app?

- In-depth articles on the Church, current events, culture, peace, schools, universities, international affairs, association life, and much more;
- Podcasts and audio content to listen to stories, testimonies, and reflections;
- videos, interviews, and stories from the local communities;
- Catholic Action magazines, for digital browsing;
- training programs and contributions designed to support educational and pastoral services;
- stories and ideas for understanding the present through a faithful lens.

Content is organized into clear, navigable thematic categories to help you easily find what interests you. Through tags and personalized suggestions, you can explore related topics and discover new ways to read, watch, and listen.

Information that builds community

Il Chiostro was born from the desire to make the wealth of thought, experiences, and relationships that Catholic Action generates every day more visible and accessible. In an age marked by information overload and fragmented communication, the app offers a reliable, curated, and recognizable space where insight and dialogue find a home.
It's not just about "being informed," but about cultivating a perspective capable of uniting faith and life, spirituality and social commitment, education and public and social responsibility. The goal is to offer meaningful, accessible, and high-quality content that can accompany individuals and communities through life's different stages.
