2026 Assembly: the beginning of the preparation process

Jul 4, 2025

Message by the President Margaret Karram

The General Assembly of the Work of Mary, the Focolare Movement, takes place every five years.

The upcoming one will take place from the 1st to the 21st of March 2026.

It is an opportunity to respond to the vocation of the Focolare Movement: to live for unity. This is one of the most important events: during the Assembly the new governing body of the Focolare Movement will be elected and the work done will provide an opportunity to talk about ideas, proposals and motions that will be the guidelines for the Movement over the next five years.

The preparation process is beginning: we are all called to do our part.

Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement, explains through this video message how we can prepare ourselves in a synodal way.

Here is a video with infographics to better understand what the Assembly is, how it will be carried out and how to prepare for this important appointment.
