The movement originally commenced in WA at City Beach Parish, where founders Brian and Denise Mills hosted the first gatherings after their inspiring experience at the 1973 National Eucharistic Congress in Melbourne.
Members and friends of Perth’s Focolare Movement gathered at Muresk Institute in Northam from 9 to 11 October for its annual Mariapolis retreat, with the theme “A light for the world”, marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Focolare founder Chiara Lubich.
