Focolare Local Community

Mission

The main objective is to weave relationships among people and be a family because we are brothers and sisters to one another, children of One Father. We want to create a community of people who, like in a family, share everything we have both needs and riches, joys and difficulties and to become like the first Christian community where everything is shared and no one among them is in need (cf. Acts 4:34).

We want that each member of the community may grow and develop in the different aspects of life and to see him or her succeed and be happy. This way of life is based on the Gospel where Jesus said to love one another (cf. Jn 15:12). As we care to the people, we also care to the environment. Working with the land, we have discovered our link with the mother earth and how much she can generate food for us. We make sure that what we grow is all organic, so we don’t damage the environment. Planting is a reciprocal act between human being and the nature.

Main Goals

• To gain technical knowledge on organic farming.
• To cultivate organic vegetables.
• To grow in human relationships and make the experience of being part of a bigger family of God who care for one another.
