Focolare Movement celebrates 60 years in Portugal

The Focolare Movement held a meeting at the Paulo VI Pastoral Center in Fatima this Sunday to mark 60 years of presence in Portugal. Teresa Gonçalves, who manages communications for the movement, said the group aims to promote peace through daily dialogue and the building of bridges in divided areas.

Gonçalves stated that the movement seeks to address war, confrontation, indifference, and individualism through concrete gestures. She said these actions include listening to others, respecting differences, welcoming those who are excluded, and rebuilding relationships. The group intends to focus on these daily practices rather than large-scale projects.
