Ragon, in the province of Caserta. The city extends from the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the foothills of Mount Massico and located at that site where you can still see evidence of the city called Sinope Sinuessa by the Greeks and Romans. Ruins that testify to its glorious history, in fact, the 'location between sea and mountains, sulphurous and special products of the land have made over the centuries, the object of conquest by various peoples, from the Greeks to the Romans, the Lombards, the Normans. In this city, the history of the Parish of St. Nicholas,
since the postwar years, allows us to trace the history of the city and all of her pastor at the time, Monsignor Adelchi Fantini, who has exercised his ministry from 1948 to 1992, and was the promoter and implementer works not only in religious but also social and liturgical, central to the cultural and economic growth of the city, after the hardships of war. In the years following the Second World War, Parish, there was still a central church, but only two chapels separated, that of "Carmen" and the congregation belonging to the homonymous chapel dedicated to St. Blaise, "consisting of a modest room, hidden and confused between the houses, which served as a parish church, which is insufficient to accommodate the inhabitants of two districts that were contiguous, "St. Nicholas" and "Amadeus District. 
Monsignor Fantini realized the need to erect a new church and began, as his first work, the difficult path of construction, which involved many sacrifices. In fact, for the realization of this project, after much effort, succeeded in finding an area of \u200b\u200b5000 square meters. Falco from the family, who later succumbed in part to the city, so that made the two buildings for elementary schools in District Amedeo. He faced a trip to the U.S. to raise money from the emigrants, so that together with those provided by generous citizens to enable it to complete the work, which was realized in a short time by the architect of national reputation, Gaetano Rapisardi. the construction of the church, admirable in size and architecture, was followed by the revival of parish life, Catholic Action was reorganized, rearranged the Congregation of the Carmelite MSS were made liturgical innovations and began looking for texts, especially rare, to enrich the library today to testamentary will of don Fantini merged into the library collections of the municipal library in the city of Mondragone.
done all that represents the commitment of Monsignor Fantini to the spiritual formation of consciences and to put in place, with the collaboration of lay people, a strong Christian community. Community which currently has reached a high level of organization and growth in faith, thanks to the work of the spiritual leaders who have followed and in particular the commitment and continuous renewal made by the parish priest Don Lorenzo Langella.
The parish currently has adequate facilities to perform most of the various pastoral activities: a canonical modern and hospitable, a lounge area for conferences, youth meetings and events organized by the same youth, field for various sports. All necessary facilities to the action of the apostolate and educator held by Don Lorenzo Langella in a parish that is "Center of diocesan youth ministry and vocations" called "Tabor Center. Apostolic Activities geared to bringing people to the Catholic culture and especially young people with their contradictions and unforeseen reasons, giving them the chance to have a meeting place for the performance of most activities, music, song, the film club, all 'deepening Pastoral Theology and regain some of those values \u200b\u200bobscured by the false gods of today's reality.
