The community of the movement in Korea<\/a> is continuously growing, and felt the need to have a place where they could be formed in the culture of unity and fraternity, where they could meet and exchange experiences of the living the Gospel. Thus, apart from \u201cProvidence\u201d which arrived in abundance, all committed themselves in various fund raising activities and they could acquire land measuring 9779sm on which to build the Mariapoli centre in accordance with their requirements. The most actively committed were the Gen4<\/a>, the children who live the spirituality of the Movement, who faithfully filled up their moneyboxes, also making sacrifices. The Mariapoli centre \u201cMary Mother of God\u201d, that is situated at an hour\u2019s distance from Seoul, the capital, was inaugurated in 1994, to the joy of all. Aldo Fons Stedile was present. He was sent by Chiara Lubich<\/a>. He is one of the first focolarini and one of her closest collaborators. From that moment onwards, the centre has been functioning in full swing, and serves above all for the formation of the members of the Focolari. Every year, around 7000 persons participate in the various courses and meetings, to delve into the spirituality of unity. The third Sunday of the month is the liveliest and heavily participated day as the centre is open to all children, boys and girls. Around 200 children are accompanied every month by their parents: the house is full of songs, laughter and their typical vivacity. For the parents an appropriate meeting is held contemporaneously, and often it is the children that encourage their interest in the life lived according to the spirituality of unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
