Sharing the Light Speaker Series of St. Jude Parish presents "The Church in the Holy Land - A Beacon of Hope" on March 31 at 7 pm via Zoom.
Sami El-Yousef, CEO of the Latin Catholic Patriarchate of Jerusalem, will join us live from Jerusalem and Monsignor John Kozar will offer insights.
He will share with us how the Catholic Church navigates very troubled waters in that area of the world and “shares the light of Christ” with all. No one is alone or abandoned; the Church never “quits” in sharing the “Good News “ of Jesus Christ.
Monsignor John Kozar, who in retirement is a resident of Saint Jude Parish, will expand on this theme, bringing some of his own mission experiences in the Holy Land and other parts of the world.
Before his recent retirement, Monsignor Kozar was President of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, overseeing the Catholic Church’s aid to Christians in the Indian subcontinent, the Near East and Middle East.
