Principality of Monaco: new “home” for the Diocese. Mgr. Barsi, “Christian community is made of living stones which are the baptised”

The construction of the building that will become the new Diocesan house in Monaco is advancing rapidly. “Like in an orchestra, each and everyone offers their technical instruments and all contribute to the success of the ensemble”, Archbishop Bernard Barsi wrote in the editorial of the new Diocesan bulletin. The funding of the work, too, is “shared by the ensemble” as it is entirely paid for by the Diocese, which launched the initiative “Support with a Stone” to “enable all, regardless of their means, to contribute to this common project”, Mgr. Barsi explained. Indeed, every stone, which corresponds to a donation of €50, is numbered, and each benefactor will have their name associated with a stone, through a duly issued certificate. The names of all benefactors will then be placed in the altar of the Chapel that will be the heart of the House. Similarly, the Archbishop went on to write, the “Christian Community Church is made of living stones which are the baptised”. “Out of fidelity to our Baptism”, Mgr. Barsi invites everyone to become a part of “the building of the Church, the family of God, the House that withstands storms because it is founded on Christ”. “Prayer, sacramental life, listening to the Word, living an Evangelical life and serving the community” – these are the tools for us to become “missionaries capable of welcoming into the Church every man and woman who is at a crossroads, on the roads of life, or on the peripheries of society”.
