Today, the 20 general councillors of the Focolare Movement were elected; during the new term of office, they will support the President of the Focolare Movement in her role.
In accordance with the General Statutes, they, together with the President and the Co-President, are responsible for representing the entire Movement and expressing its unity.
They will be called upon to carry out the tasks entrusted to them by the President, in particular overseeing the practical aspects of the life of the Movement (summarised in the “seven colours”) and the support of the geographical subdivisions (the “zones”). Each one, in their own role, will have at heart the unity of the entire family of the Focolare Movement, safeguarding and promoting it at every step.

With great joy, I send my prayers, support, and gratitude to each of the new counsellors. Thanks for their service (and here I especially thank the two from the U.S., Erica Croato and J.P. Slee.) They will be missed but I know they will be part of this group that carries ahead the whole Opera with Margaret and Roberto.
