That’s us!
For 25 years, the Emmanuel Community has been organizing a cross-generational summer festival of encounter and faith in form of the Forum Altötting. In 2020 and 2021, we decided to split the joy and energy into smaller local meetings in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Now we are looking forward to starting in Altötting once more! Together with the town of Altötting, which supports the Forum in various essential ways.
Emmanuel – that means: God with us. Out of this conviction, we try to shape our everyday life and be benevolent to the people around us.
We are a Catholic community with worldwide papal recognition and active in about 70 countries, with more than 12,000 members. Many more are affiliated with the Community on their journey of faith and benefit from its apostolate.
Emmanuel is involved in a variety of initiatives with the aim of promoting a living Christian faith. In the midst of our modern everyday life, we wish to encourage an open dialogue on faith and the Church and enable encounters with God.
