Fontem

Sep 8, 2010

Fontem is a small town situated in the South West province of Cameroun. The first little Town of the Focolare Movement in Africa. “I already see rising up in this place a great city, a city which will be famous throughout the whole world -not so much for its material wealth – but because a light will shine from it that will illuminate everyone, that all will wish to posses. It is a light that will spread forth from mutual love always kept alive among us in the name of God.”

Chiara Lubich, Fontem, 1969

Living the Gospel: in search of those who are lost

Sep 11, 2025

In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus asks us to watch over those around us, to go in search of anyone who strays and to show the same care and gentleness as the shepherd in our relationships and friendships. Seeking, finding one another, going out to meet others and at the same time, experiencing the joy of being loved are all an invitation to gratitude for the mercy that God has for each of us.
