Can a spirituality of unity build community in response to the dramatic events of our time?
Join us for a time for reflection and connection at
A Hearth For the Human Family 2021
March 6 – 7, 2021
a virtual conference presented by
The Focolare Forum For Dialogue and Culture
We may all agree that love is the answer, and we may even be deeply committed to living love in our daily lives. But do you still find yourself at odds with your friends, relatives, colleagues or even those within your spiritual community? With the dramatic events of the past year fresh in our minds, we invite you to join with people around the world in a time for reflection and action to foster commitment to building human community and care for our planet.
Taking as a springboard Pope Francis’ October 2020 reflections, Fratelli Tutti, this virtual conference brings us together to share our ideas and efforts to work for healing in the wake of the serious cultural challenges, divisions, and injustice in our world.
