With this press release, Chiara Amirante announced her resignation as president of Nuovi Orizzonti or New Horizons—an institution dedicated to helping people with addictions that she founded in 1994.
In 2019, Pope Francis visited one of her communities in a town near Rome.
As you know, the New Horizons community was born out of this desire to bring as many people as possible to this joyful encounter with the risen Christ, with a special focus on the difficulties and hardships that so many young people face.
Amirante is 58 years old and was re-elected to the position in January, but her health has recently declined. In the press statement, she explains that she has a high risk of suffering a stroke or a heart attack.
