You are invited for the Mid-Atlantic Mariapolis 2013!

“And who is my neighbor?”

What?

Is a little city with a place for everyone. It is an experience of unity. The program includes general sessions on the spirituality of unity with multimedia presentations, sharing in small groups, seminars on various topics, moments of prayer and reflection, games and outdoor activities. There will be special programs for children and teens.
The Focolare Movement, founded by Chiara Lubich, came alive in wartime Europe in 1943, Trent, Italy. Born in the Catholic Church, it is present today in 182 nations with over 5 million people of all backgrounds and walks of life, who work for a more united world. Focolare means “hearth” or family “fireside”. It helps people focus their lives on the Gospel, striving towards the fulfillment of Jesus’ prayer to the Father: “May they all be one.” (Jn 17:21)

Malcolm Shabbazz Mosque & Focolare Movement (New York)

Sunday, May 20, 2012
Commemoration and celebration of the 15th anniversary of the unique and timely “pact” of Chiara Lubich and W. D. Mohammed.

“Our Journey Towards the Excellence of the Human Family”

On May 18, 1997, history was made at the Historic Malcolm Shabazz Mosque in Harlem, NY.

On that day, two blessed leaders, Imam W. D. Mohammed (religious and spiritual leader of the largest constituency of Muslims in America), and Chiara Lubich (president and spiritual leader of the Focolare Movement worldwide), held a joint meeting at the Mosque to formalize a “pact” illustrating their commitment to work together to promote unity. This collaboration was not only between their own communities, but also with people of faith from all religions, based on common principles and values.
