Invitation to Westminster Holy Land Roundtable

Source: Westminster J&P Commission

The next Westminster Holy Land Roundtable, hosted by the Westminster Justice and Peace Commission will take place Saturday, 23 March from 4-6pm Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, Mayfair, 114 Mount Street London W1K 3AH to share and discuss the response of the Catholic community in the Diocese of Westminster to war and conflict in the Holy Land

The horrendous series of events unfolding in our news bulletins since the 7th October attack by Hamas in which 1,200 were killed and over 250 were taken hostage, and the subsequent retaliation by Israel in which over 28,000 people have been killed - most of them women and children, over 1.8 million people have seen their homes destroyed and are now facing a major famine - has increased the concern of people everywhere for the Holy Land.

Following the first Roundtable on 20th February, the organisers are hoping to gather Catholics in the Diocese with an interest in exploring our collective response to strife in the Holy Land and asking what more we could do as a community?

We hope to set up a Working Party to cover the following areas:

· Christian, Muslim and Jewish relations in the Diocese.
· The Ceasefire Now rallies and liasing with the Christians for Palestine group.
. Liaising with Catholic parishes and other organisations.
· Prayer and Liturgy.
· Support for Catholics and other Christians in the Holy Land.

If you are interested in helping in any of these areas, but are unable to attend the meeting on 23rd March, please contact Colette Joyce directly on colettejoyce@rcdow.org.uk for further details or a chat.
