Bethlehem: Pax Christi International World Assembly

More than 160 peace campaigners from around the world will gather in Bethlehem this week, from 13 - 18 May, for the Pax Christi International Assembly - to celebrate 70 years of the movement and exchange views on work and plans for the future.

A group from the British Section will be taking part. During their stay they will visit other parts of the West Bank following the meetings. A highlight of the visit will be celebrations for the canonization of two Palestinian saints: Blessed Miriam Bawardi and Blessed Marie Alphonsie Ghattas, which take place in Rome this Saturday, 16 May.

Pax Christi write: "Please keep those gathering for the Assembly and all those they will meet in Palestine & Israel in your prayers."
