The speaker
Abouna (Fr.) Bashar Fawadleh is a Palestinian Catholic priest born in Jerusalem and currently serving as Parish Priest of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Taybeh. A dedicated youth chaplain, educator, and advocate for justice and peace, he has devoted his ministry to strengthening Christian communities in Palestine and empowering young people to remain deeply rooted in faith, hope, and their identity in the land of Christ.
During this webinar, we will reflect together on the significance of Taybeh today, the challenges confronting Palestinian Christians, and the urgent importance of preserving the Christian presence in the Holy Land. We will also explore how communities rooted in faith continue to raise a courageous call for justice, peace, human dignity, and reconciliation.
We warmly invite you to join this important conversation in solidarity with the people of Taybeh and the wider Palestinian community and to stand alongside those who continue to witness to hope amid adversity.
