When a major fire broke out next door to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Cavalcade in Rome, visitors saw first-hand what the Volunteer Ministers program is all about and why they are counted upon in times of emergency all over the world.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Cavalcade opened in Rome this weekend, and the tent was filled with people wanting to know more about the program. From members of parliament and federal ministers to media, business leaders, neighbors and passers-by, people were eager see the exhibit and get their questions answered.
But when fire trucks, ambulances and police cars started screaming into the area to respond to a fire, the volunteer ministers responded immediately.

The street was so inundated with onlookers, firefighters could hardly get anything done. Trained in disaster relief, the volunteers rushed to help, taking over crowd control and establishing order so the firemen could get on with their work. Their help was definitely appreciated. In fact, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers were commended by the Chief of the Provincial Fire Brigade for their assistance.
Continental Volunteer Minister Cavalcades, such as the one in Rome this week, visit new cities each month where they introduce residents to technology developed for the program by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion.
In developing the Volunteer Ministers program, Mr. Hubbard wrote, "If one is going to find fault with something, it implies that he wishes to do something about it and would if he could. If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."

With their motto "Something Can Be Done About It!" the Scientology Volunteer Ministers are available to help anyone with seminars, simple courses and one-on-one assistance to address whatever troubles they might be facing.
