The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, is visiting the Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza ahead of Christmas.<\/p>\n
His presence expresses his desire to accompany the faithful in hope, solidarity, and prayer.<\/p>\n
This Christmas, just like it happened last year, the parishioners will receive support and solidarity from Cardinal Pizzaballa.<\/p>\n
The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem arrived in Gaza for Christmas celebrations, accompanied by his vicar, Monsignor William Shomali, and a small delegation.<\/p>\n
Pizzaballa is on a pastoral visit to the Parish of the Holy Family, as reported in a press release from the patriarchate.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, His Beatitude will preside over the Christmas Mass at the parish.<\/p>\n
These days, the Cardinal \u201cwill review the current situation of the parish, humanitarian interventions, relief efforts, and prospects for the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is scheduled to meet with local clergy and parishioners to gather information on the community’s needs and the initiatives underway to support the parish.<\/p>\n
This visit, as the Patriarchate explained, \u201cmarks the beginning of the Christmas celebrations in a community that has been battling through adversity. It also reaffirms the strong bond between the Holy Family parish in Gaza and the larger diocese of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is on a pastoral visit to the Parish of the Holy Family and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10446,43,44,23156,155312,155311,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-360856","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-christmas","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-palestine","12":"tag-pierbattista-pizzaballa","13":"tag-solidarity","14":"tag-top-news","15":"tag-top-stories","16":"tag-topnews","17":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
