Presentation
Ker Maria responds to the dictates of Father Agostino Gemelli, who conceived the Colleges as laboratories for the integral maturation of the person to be placed alongside the individual’s daily academic studies.
The College has single and double rooms, with common areas, kitchen, TV room, laundry, video library, library, a PC point on each floor, study rooms.
Each year, an educational project is proposed that requires dialogue and personal exchange between the students, under the supervision of a management team. This encourages the complete growth of the individual through cultural and seminar activities, and voluntary work initiatives. Added to this is the possibility of participating in spiritual moments thanks to the valuable presence of the pastoral assistant.

Student President
President: Clara Loria
Vice-president and Treasurer: Giulia Musica and Annaluna Orso
The president, with the collaboration of the vice-president, represents all the students of the College for the entire academic year. He/she convenes the students’ assembly, setting the agenda and ensuring that it is conducted in a disciplined manner, as well as taking the minutes.
Cultural Commission
Responsible: Lorenza Taronno
Deputy Head: Raffaella De Pascale
The Cultural Commission bases its commitment on the organisation of cultural events at the College and participation in exhibitions, plays and other events held in the city of Rome. Over the years, various tools have been used: scientific exhibitions, shows, musicals, film forums and meetings on current topics and the ‘roots’ of the University. All the activities always aim to combine a moment of training, cultural growth and comparison with other collegiate students with a moment of relaxation and recreation.
Liturgical Commission
Responsible: Angela Manzella
Deputy Head: Margherita Astrologo
The Liturgical Commission offers the opportunity for students to get to know the beauty of being “gathered in His name”, to listen to that Word which each week has to tell how one can face life together with Him. The team animates the liturgy with the reading of passages from the Word of God, the choice of prayers, songs, small gestures that, during the offertory, make the collegiate girls directly participate. It has produced a booklet organising the songs according to the various liturgical times. The choir proposes and teaches new songs to the assembly.
Charity Commission
Responsible: Maria Giulia Modugno
Deputy head: Laura Binetti
The Charity Commission deals with intra- and inter-collegiate voluntary initiatives. The collection of blankets and basic necessities to be donated to the community of Sant’Egidio, the delivery of gifts, with moments of entertainment, at the paediatrics ward of the Policlinico Gemelli are just some of the activities that the girls organise, becoming aware of the needs closest to them, to share moments together and, with small gestures, help someone.
Recreational Commission
Responsible: Benedetta Scardino
Deputy head: Chiara Signoriello
The Recreational Commission organises recreational moments and evenings, which are set annually in the Ker Maria tradition. Specifically, they organise the tombola (where bingo is played and small gifts are exchanged), Karaoke night, St. Donato’s dinner (where the freshmen prepare a hearty dinner for all the boarding school girls), the play party (with table football, ping pong and board games) and finally the Spring Festival, which closes a busy year of activities and wonderful experiences.
Logistics/Housing Commission
Responsible: Maria Eugenia Robbe
Deputy Head: Stefania Scannicchio
The Housing Commission proposes, through the updating and maintenance of the boarding school’s internal environments (kitchens, TV room, common areas, rooms), to optimise the logistical and environmental conditions to favour a comfortable stay in the community, while respecting the internal rules and regulations as well as the individual needs of each boarding school member.
Sports Commission
Responsible: Sara Signoriello
Deputy head: Roberta Antoci, Perla Calisto
The sports commission keeps the boarding schools ‘active’ by organising internal volleyball, foosball and table tennis tournaments throughout the year. What unites us on these occasions will not only be the tournaments but also a uniform, which the commission takes charge of designing, to be worn by all boarding school girls. During the month of May, in preparation for the Collegiadi, organise two weeks of intensive training.
