Join Us at the Mariapolis!

The Mariapolis is the Focolare’s summer gathering. It’s a place to learn about and live the Focolare spirituality by experiencing the transformative power of community rooted in evangelical love. The program includes presentations, workshops, testimonies, sharing groups, liturgies, and recreational activities. The purpose of the Mariapolis is to bring together people of different ages, vocations, and walks of life for an experience of spiritual renewal through deeper union with God and with one another.

There will be special activities designed specifically for children and teenagers, allowing them to experience the Mariapolis’s spirit in a meaningful and suitable way for their age. In addition, there will be a nursery for children 0-3.
