Volunteer Ministers Bring Tools and Help to Modena with Cavalcade Opening in Piazza Matteotti
Modena welcomes the Scientology Volunteer Ministers yellow pavilion at Piazza Matteotti, showing that Something CAN Be Done About It.
The signature bright yellow pavilion of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers (VM) was inaugurated in Piazza Matteotti, bringing solidarity and practical assistance to Modena, Italy. As part of the Volunteer Ministers European Continental Cavalcade, the pavilion offers resources and tools to help people improve their lives and the lives of others, particularly in times of need.
“We are here to listen, help and let Modena’s citizens know they are not alone.”
The grand opening ceremony featured a performance by opera virtuoso Paolo Delai, who captivated the audience with two pieces, including the Italian National Anthem. His personal connection to volunteer work—stemming from his family’s experience helping those affected by disaster—drove him to participate in the event. Despite the rain, attendees filled the piazza. Speakers included a councilman, who shared a heartfelt testimony of the VMs’ support during disasters. The event concluded with a ribbon cutting, opening the pavilion to the community.
Throughout the day, the pavilion in Piazza Matteotti remained busy with visitors eager to learn about the VMs’ tools. “We are here to listen, help and let Modena’s citizens know they are not alone,” said one of the volunteers. “Anyone is welcome to stop by, ask questions or simply learn how to better deal with everyday challenges.” Many started courses from The Scientology Handbook, such as the Communication course and the Emotional Tone Scale course. The councilman also spent several hours at the tent engaging with VMs and expressing interest in the program.
Established in the 1970s by L. Ron Hubbard, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program provides people with practical tools to help themselves and others in everyday life and during emergencies. The Volunteer Minister Cavalcades have visited thousands of cities around the globe since 2003, offering free assistance to communities.
