What’s UP? Let’s get started!

Jul 1, 2026

Welcome to What’s UP?, a new format offered by the Focolare Movement that brings us closer together and makes us feel more and more like a family.

A new space created to get to know one another and to share in a direct and informal way. A moment dedicated to sharing news, stories and initiatives, so we can discover what’s happening at the International Centre and in different parts of the world and we can also strengthen our sense of community.

In this first episode, we’ll start at the International Centre (Rocca di Papa, Rome), the heart of the Focolare Movement’s governance, and after a few interesting facts, we’ll get to know some of the Councillors better – those who have completed their term of office following the General Assembly in March 2026.

Let’s get started!

    A great initiative that will certainly help to link us across the globe 🌎
    If I can make a small suggestion; to speak a little slower for non Italian speakers.
    Many Thanks.

Season of Creation 2026: The Transformation of a Community

The “Season of Creation” is an ecumenical Christian initiative that begins every year on 1st September and ends on 4th October, the feast of St. Francis. This year with the theme “Living Water”, Christians around the world are invited not only to contemplate water at the river banks, but to immerse themselves in what it represents: life, relationship, healing, hope and the love of God that flows through all of creation. Here is a testimony from Congo, in Africa.

1st September, the “Season of Creation” begins

In the message published on the occasion of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, Leo XIV urges us to face today’s ethical and cultural crisis that includes the desire for war, domination and the pursuit of profit. What is needed is “an authentic ecological conversion” that comes from the heart.
