!!!Emmausgemeinschaft

Emmaus Community, an international organisation founded in 1949, 
provides accommodation and work for people released from prison and 
tries to ease their re-integration into society. In 1982 the diocese 
of St. Poelten (Caritas, Katholische Aktion) set up an E. community, 
which runs a joinery, a second-hand shop and a renovation project 
where an average of 35 people find work. Every year about 180 people 
seeking help are cared for in the community´s 2 homes. Since 
1980, a central office for ex-prisoners has been operating in the city 
of Salzburg.
