Priests’ Movement

The Priestly Movement is one of the expressions of outreach of the Focolare Movement whose nature, spirit and aims it shares. Its purpose is to spread the spirit of communion among diocesan priests, in seminaries and in various ecclesial environments, contributing to their renewal in the light of the testament of Jesus: “That all may be one” (Jn 17:21). Alongside Catholic diocesan priests, permanent deacons and seminarians, ministers of other Christian Churches and ecclesial communities also take part, faithful to their own traditions.

Key activities of this Movement include:

• networking to share experiences, initiatives and activities…
• • courses of spiritual exercises, inspired by the spirituality of communion for priests, deacons and seminarians
• centres of spirituality in some of the little towns of the Focolare Movement throughout the world;
• • collaboration with other Movements and communities and with diocesan representatives for the clergy in view of a renewal of the life of priests and their pastoral work.
