WHAT WE DO
Focolare in Oceania
St Pauls Retreat Centre
Located in Wantirna, Melbourne, the Focolare runs the St Pauls Retreat Centre as an inspirational venue for spiritual retreats and away days. Contact us for more details.
Mariapolis
Every year we organise multiple events called a “Mariapolis” around Oceania. Literally meaning “city of Mary” they are an event usually lasting a few days and open to everyone. The programme always varies but can include games, talks, craft activities, moments of prayer or reflection, debates and more!

Health Newsletter
The purpose of the Health Newsletter is communication on what is happening around us with the COVID-19 virus, as well as provide information on ecology and climate change. Each monthly edition contains a spiritual reflection, shared experiences, websites for information during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and articles on integral ecology.
Focolare international
The United World Project works towards its aim of a more united world by charting, promoting and linking authentic examples of good practice and processes, in personal or group initiatives – be they on a large or small scale, regular or one-off actions – which contribute towards making the world a more peaceful and united home to all humanity.
Inspired by the Focolare spirituality, Sophia offers students a unique life experience and high quality education designed to equip them with both knowledge and professional skills. Courses give students the opportunity to develop a broad vision and teamwork skills, and provide them with tools for conflict resolution, problem-solving strategies and spaces for dialogue, all within an enriching, stimulating and diverse environment
