\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Community of St Paul is present in the Archdiocese of Bogot\u00e1, where Fr Mart\u00ed Colom, a member of the CSP, is currently parish priest of La Resurrecci\u00f3n, a parish situated in the south of the city, within the Episcopal Vicariate of St Paul. The parish territory of La Resurrecci\u00f3n comprises three working-class neighbourhoods (El Pesebre, Granjas de San Pablo and La Resurrecci\u00f3n), with a total population of approximately 15,000. \n\nThese are working-class neighbourhoods, affected by a number of unavoidable social problems, such as crime, the rise in drug use amongst young people, poverty, limited employment opportunities, overcrowding in some homes, the poor condition of many dwellings, the neglect of some elderly people, and the presence in the area of migrants from Venezuela, who often have very limited resources and constitute a highly vulnerable section of the population, amongst other issues.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\tAs regards its work in human development, in 2018 the CSP established the Casa Garavito Centre in the El Pesebre neighbourhood, a community development centre offering a range of services: dressmaking courses for women, extra tuition for children, English lessons, guitar lessons, general knowledge classes for older adults, and psychological counselling for those who need it. Casa Garavito also coordinates a scholarship programme that helps young people from these neighbourhoods to attend university and thus prepare themselves professionally for the future. \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
