Focolare


in the United States and Canada


All humanity, one family.

Focolare is a global community.
It’s a Gospel-based ecclesial movement for spiritual and social renewal. We’re committed to building fraternal relationships among individuals, peoples, religions and cultures, by engaging in dialogue.


The goal is unity.

The art of loving

Giving of ourselves can be lifted to an art form. We aim to spread love that is universal, proactive, unconditional, empathetic, inclusive and reciprocal—whether in personal relationships or any sector of society.

Unity in diversity

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

A more united world

Despite today’s polarity, unity is possible. We create cultural and social projects that contribute to a more equal, just and harmonious society, where everyone can feel part of the rich mosaic that is the human family.


A spirituality for today’s world.

Every Focolare initiative is rooted in its spirituality of unity,
a lifestyle shared by many people of all ages and backgrounds.
It transforms our lives and relationships for the better.


Spirituality and Life

On Point is a video series that will introduce you to the pillars of the Spirituality of Unity of the Focolare Movement through real-life stories.


Unity is a story worth telling.
