Venice Interfaith Community Association

The Venice Interfaith Community Association was born from the observation that the Venice, Florida community was expanding, not only in size,but in diversity. Although many Christian denominations were represented in the Venice area, there was no group that embraced the growing populations of other faiths as well. Venice Interfaith promotes the development of a local culture which reflects the love, understanding and support of and between all community members as taught by all of the faith traditions represented in our society. Both individual and institutional members are welcomed. CRT partners with VICA on a variety of interfaith community events and activities. veniceinterfaith.org/
