The EJNS facilities in Lisbon are located in the São João de Brito area, within the Alvalade parish. This area of Lisbon is distinctive for its 20th-century urban planning, featuring spacious avenues and a balanced combination of residential and commercial zones. The atmosphere is characteristically Lisbon-like, marked by the city's daily routine. Rua do Centro Cultural, where it is located, suggests proximity to other facilities that enrich the neighborhood's community and associative life, positioning the space at an accessible point within Alvalade's urban fabric.
The EJNS facilities, or Teams of Young Our Lady, constitute a reference point for this Catholic movement in Portugal. With a history spanning over eight decades, the original Teams of Our Lady movement was founded in Paris in 1938, on the initiative of Father Henri Caffarell, evolving to integrate the youth aspect in 1976. The space in Alvalade functions as an organizational hub and a meeting point for members, underscoring its identity as a place where faith and sharing are articulated. It is a place that symbolizes the continuity of a spiritual and social legacy, dedicated to personal growth and community cohesion.
This place, discreet in its physical presence, is the epicentre of a dynamic dedicated to promoting values and the experience of faith among young people. Its importance lies in what it represents for the community it serves: an environment for reflection, dialogue, and the strengthening of bonds. Through the activities organized and managed here, EJNS seeks to inspire its members towards a deeper and more conscious way of life. It is a space that emanates a pedagogy of sharing and a spirituality of passage, where the primary objective is to deepen faith within a context of mutual trust and support.
