Focolare

in the Holy Land

A worldwide, diverse community with a passion for unity

Born in the Catholic Church, Focolare features a spirituality which has become a lifestyle for people of all ages and backgrounds.

We are committed, alongside many others, to creating connections and building fraternal relationships among individuals, peoples, religions and cultures.

More about Focolare

Our goal

Unity in diversity

Being one does not mean being the same!
We focus on establishing dialogues within the Catholic Church, with Christians of various Churches, between the world’s religions, and with people who have no religious affiliation.

A more inclusive and harmonious world

We create cultural and social projects that contribute to a less fragmented, more just and peaceful society in which everyone can feel part of the rich mosaic that is the human family.

Unity: a story worth telling
