Juan XXIII Movement

Origins and Foundation

The Juan XXIII Movement was founded in Puerto Rico during the papacy of Pope John XXIII. It emerged as an international Catholic association dedicated to reaching out to individuals who are distant from the Church, as well as those who are marginalized. The movement’s creation was deeply influenced by the spirit and principles of Pope John XXIII, whose leadership fostered inclusivity and renewal within the Catholic community.

Guiding Principles

Central to the Juan XXIII Movement are the guiding principles established during the Second Vatican Council. These principles emphasize service through love, commitment, and sacrifice. Members of the movement strive to embody these values in their daily lives, promoting a culture of compassion and active engagement with those in need.

Mission and Activities

The mission of the Juan XXIII Movement revolves around creating opportunities for spiritual growth and community involvement. This is achieved through regular weekly meetings, retreats, and various community outreach initiatives. These activities are designed to foster fellowship among members, encourage personal reflection, and provide support to those who feel disconnected from their faith or community.
