SUMMARY:Uniting in Prayer for Peace - Saturday 28 March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends and Supporters\, \nThe Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem has announced that traditional celebrations for Easter cannot take place as usual due to the war. The Palm Sunday procession from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is cancelled and the Chrism Mass is postponed. The Church is hurting. \nBut hope remains unshaken\, the Churches in Jerusalem remain open and prayers continue. The call from the Latin Patriarchate is to pray the Rosary on Saturday 28 March. \nOn Saturday 28 March\, 7:30PM – 8:30PM\, Palestinian Christians in Australia (PCiA) will be holding a prayer service on Zoom to pray for peace in the Middle East. We will be holding an Ecumenical Service praying the Rosary and reading bible verses and listening to Christian songs. \nPCiA director and spiritual leader Costandi Bastoli will be leading the Prayer Service. \nThe message of Easter prevails and unites us: Life is stronger than death. The light of Hope will not extinguish. \nBookings essential to send you the Zoom link. \nBook here

SUMMARY:World Week of Peace
DESCRIPTION:During this week\, which includes the International Day of Prayer for Peace on 21 September\, church organizations\, congregations\, and people of faith are encouraged to bear a common witness by participating in worship services\, educational events\, and acts of support in favor of peace and justice for Palestinians and Israelis. \nWhile commemorating 75 years of Nakba (catastrophe) of the Palestinian people since 1948\, the preparatory committee for this year’s materials questioned the injustice in all this for the family and chose the Bible verse Matthew 8:20 to lay down the issue as presented by Jesus Christ: “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests\, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” \nFrom this verse comes the theme of the 2023 World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel\, “No place to lay my head\,” reflecting the challenge for Palestinian families as well as other people facing difficulties to a uniting home. \nJoin our online event via zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85361861923?pwd=Y1dWSFVIbk1kcWIrZVpjQnBDQnQyUT09

SUMMARY:Webinar featuring Wisam Salsaa
DESCRIPTION:Online webinar featuring Wisam Salsaa hosted by Sabeel Australia\nOur May webinar will feature Wisam Salsaa. This will be at 5.00pm on Saturday\, 21 May. \nWisam Salsaa is the owner and manager of the Walled Off Hotel\, a boutique hotel in Bethlehem which was designed by anonymous London-based artist Banksy alongside other creatives and notable academic Dr David Grindon. Established in March 2017\, and initially set up as a temporary exhibition\, the hotel has since attracted thousands of visitors\, thanks in part to its location opposite a portion of the Israeli apartheid wall.
