Pax Christi England and Wales, the Passionist Community, and Pax Christi International co-organised an event aimed at amplifying the voices of the Christian community in the Holy Land, on Tuesday, 26th November, 4:30 PM GMT (UK) / 5:30 PM Palestine Time.

Speakers: 

  • Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, IVE: Parish Priest of the Holy Family Parish, Gaza 
  • Sami Al-Yousef: Chief Executive Officer, Latin Patriarchate, Jerusalem 
As the war reaches its 416th day, Christians in the region face unimaginable hardships. Yet their unwavering faith remains a beacon of hope. This gathering provides us with the opportunity to hear directly from those enduring these harrowing times, as they share their struggles, hopes, and resilience.
Through the testimonies of Fr. Gabriel Romanelli and Sami Al-Yousef, we will bear witness to the profound humanitarian and spiritual crisis affecting the Christian community in Gaza.
At the conclusion of the webinar, the Christmas message of the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem was read out over an image of candles burning in Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem before a Madonna and Child icon. This event was more than a call to awareness; it was an invitation to act, to pray, and to stand in solidarity with Palestinians in the Holy Land, who continue to endure, love, and hope against all odds.
