A Community of Communities

Belong draws on the dimensions of missionary renewal explored by Pope Francis: encounter, testimony, formation and action.

Circles seek to ground these dimensions within the local Church; which is ‘a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach.’ (Evangelii Gaudium, 28)

Circles in Community

Parishes, schools, communities and individuals can all form Circles. All resources are free to access by the universal Catholic Church.
Circles can form in Parishes including youth, young adult and adult prayer and small groups.
Teachers and leaders may invite students involved in education and ministry contexts into Circles.
Circles may go beyond traditional Church structures, including into ecclesial communities.

Evangelisation is at the heart of the Church’s deepest identity. My prayer is this new initiative – Belong – brings forth a new missionary impulse inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Belong represents a new pastoral initiative for evangelisation. It is with hope that I write to invite all the faithful to hear the Gospel anew and be invited afresh into participation in the life and mission of our Catholic Church.

Pauline Marie Jaricot fell in love with Jesus Christ and His Church. She longed to see the Gospel enter every human heart and reach the very ends of the earth. Her vision became reality in the Mission Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Circles that gather, pray, and give, reflect beautifully Pauline’s charism and bring it to life in our day.
