A Pilgrimage of Unity and Renewal
The 80th anniversary of the Focolare Movement began with a special pilgrimage made by the General Council of the Movement and representatives of all the Movement’s regions, 103 people in all from 39 countries. The pilgrimage had been scheduled to take place in the Holy Land but the outbreak of war there forced a change of plan. The itinerary moved to Italy and took the form of a journey from Rome to Assisi to Loreto and back to Rome where on the 7th December the Pope received the group in a private audience.
