<\/p>\n

What is this flurry of activity at the Focolare Centre in Kappara? There is a new excitement and a sense of expectation after the silent period of Covid-19 quarantine. It is due to the preparations for this year’s Mariapolis!<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

What is the Mariapolis?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mariapolis is an experience of community comprising persons of all ages, from all walks of life who are invited to come together for a weekend and to share an experience of true Christian living.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s Mariapolis is: \u201cJoy and Hope – is there space for them in our life today?\u201d<\/em> A series of talks, workshops and activities, all dedicated to this theme, form part of the weekend’s program.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The Mariapolis will be held at the Seabank Resort and Spa, Mellie\u0127a Bay Bay, Mellie\u0127a Bay, from Friday 17th March, <\/strong>from 6pm, until Sunday 19th March,<\/strong> up to 1pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God makes all things new. May this Mariapolis renew us all in preparation for Easter.<\/p>\n
