A conference entitled, “A Mediterranean without Borders: Peoples Connected in a Network for Fraternity”, organized by the Focolare Movement, took place in Palermo, Italy, from Wednesday 7th-Sunday 11th October.
Through applied research, meetings and public initiatives, this interdisciplinary forum aims to explore the universal vocation of this city and its significance not only for those living in the Holy Land, but for the whole human family.
Who is the other person for me? Who is the “stranger” to welcome? This month's Word of Life invites us to ask ourselves questions and to respond to the call for empathy and concrete action.
The international meeting of Bishops, Friends of the Focolare Movement, entitled "Now is the time for charity. Building peace through witnessing unity" took place at Casa Divin Maestro in Ariccia (Rome) from the 8th to the 11th of September 2026.
The goal: to cooperate in building a more united world, inspired by Jesus’ prayer to the Father
“may they all be one” (Jn 17:21),
respecting and valuing diversity.
The Movement, which started in the Catholic Church,
includes Christians of different Churches and ecclesial communities. It collaborates with members of other religions and people of non-religious beliefs.
