The Priests\u2019 Movement<\/b><\/span> is a branch of the Focolare Movement. It is made up of Catholic diocesan priests, permanent deacons and seminarians and ministers of other Christian Churches and ecclesial communities in line with their own Churches. Its aim is to spread the spirit of communion among diocesan priests, in seminaries and in various ecclesial areas and to contribute to their renewal in the light of the Testament of Jesus: \u201cThat all may be one\u201d (<\/span>Jn<\/span><\/i>17, 21). <\/span> <\/p>\n

The<\/span>Parish Movement and the Diocesan Movement <\/b><\/span> are expressions of the Focolare Movement in the local Church. The former works to build unity, at every level and values the contribution made by other movements and associations according to their own specific charism used at the service of and for the good of all. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Diocesan Movement promotes an always deeper unity of the faithful around the Bishop and collaborates in the different pastoral areas of the diocese. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span> Movement for Consecrated Men & Women and lay members of Charismatic Families<\/b><\/span> brings together members of religious communities, consecrated men and women of secular institutes, nuns and monks, young people in early stages of formation and lay people who share the charisms which have a spiritual link with the Focolare Movement. <\/span> They deepen their understanding of the spirituality of communion and live it first of all within their communities and institutes but also between old and new charisms: they weave a network of relationships of unity among all the people of God. <\/span><\/p>\n
