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.

Brotherhood, being children of the same Father, can be the root of every kind of pacifism. In this excerpt from the “Catholic Revolt”, Igino Giordani wrote almost an invocation, a poetic appeal that compels us to look up and opens our eyes to who our brother is, that brother who may be labelled as an enemy, as a foreigner, as a migrant, but is always a brother. It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
