Each Foyer de Charit\u00e9, composed of a community of priests and lay people, is part of the diocesan church. It maintains regular contacts with the bishop of the diocese in which it is based. Some members of the Foyer take part in the diocesan services (training, vocation services, liturgy), providing catechesis, visiting the sick, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the time of the 50th anniversary celebrations of its founding, the Work of the Foyers de Charit\u00e9<\/strong>, which is steeped in the grace it has received throughout its history, was keen to establish closer ties with the Church in order to fulfil its mission for the world more effectively. As a result, it asked the Pontifical Council for the Laity to officially recognise it and approve its statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Decree<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1986, after carefully considering the documentation submitted by those responsible for the Work of the Foyers de Charit\u00e9<\/strong>, it received a favourable opinion from many of the bishops with a Foyer in their dioceses and submitted the recognition request to His Holiness Pope John Paul II,\u00a0<\/em>the Pontifical Council for the Laity (today the\u00a0Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life<\/a>) recognised the Work of the Foyers de Charit\u00e9 as an international association of the faithful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Final approval of the statutes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1999, the Pontifical Council for the Laity confirms the recognition of the \u201cWork of Foyers de Charit\u00e9<\/strong> as an international private association of the faithful, in Pontifical right, with legal personality<\/strong>, according to the standards of canons 298-311 and 321-329 of the ICC and decree the final approval of its statutes whose original text has been authenticated and submitted to the archives of this dicastery.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
