GREETINGS CARDS TO THE LATIN PATRIARCHATE OF JERUSALEMADDRESSES AND ADVICE FOR CHRISTMAS 2019'This is a beautiful act of solidarity.' Fr David Neuhaus SJINTRODUCTION: When Fr Mark Madden spoke to a gathering of priests in the Holy Land, they asked if we could organize so that all the parishes in Palestine and Jordan would receive cards. To make this happen, we have paired parishes in the Holy Land with parishes in our diocese so that each parish will only send cards to their named parish in the Latin Patriarchate.(By Easter 2020 we hope to have the same arrangement in place for schools.)Because it takes cards at least a month to reach their destination we are sending this information out well before Advent to give parishes enough time to organize the sending of cards.PROCEDURE IN BRIEF: Explain the system to your parishionersDistribute the addressCollect cards and put into parcels4. Write a note to each receiving church for the parish priest to read out to his congregation. This will help them to understand where the cards have come from and why they have been sent. Please include your address and tell them something about your parish.PALESTINE & ISRAEL Post all the cards together to the office in Jerusalem. JORDAN Post all cards to the office in Amman(Cards sent directly to parishes can take up to 9 months to arrive.)ENDORSEMENTS: “I wholeheartedly endorse the Diocesan Holy Land Christmas Card campaign and I would encourage our parishes and justice and peace groups to send Christmas cards to our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. On my visits to the Holy Land people often remark how supported they feel when they receive a Christmas card from our diocese, and I believe it to be a real sign of our solidarity with those who live there. It’s also a promise of our prayers for them at Christmas, and this means so much to them.” Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP “Thank you for your concern about the situation here. Believe me it is a really difficult situation. About the Christmas card I must to confess to you that it is a personal joy for me and for my parish to receive every year your cards. It is a joy to know that many people are concerning about our situation. So I advise, if it is possible, to continue to send the cards. But really if it is possible.” Fr Mario da Silva IVE, pp at Holy Family, Gaza.3919220188595JORDAN(Name of parish priest)c/o Latin Patriarchate Vicariate28 Princess Alia Street - SweifiehP.O.B. 85137911185 AmmanJordan00JORDAN(Name of parish priest)c/o Latin Patriarchate Vicariate28 Princess Alia Street - SweifiehP.O.B. 85137911185 AmmanJordanPALESTINE & ISRAEL Mr Sami El-Yousef Chief Executive, Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Jaffa Gate – Old City, P.O.B. 14152 9114101 Jerusalem The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was established in 1099, after the First Crusade. When the Holy City fell to Saladin in 1187, the Patriarchate was transferred to Acre, and Cyprus, and finally to Rome. After more than six centuries, in 1847, Pope Pius IX restored the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Today, the patriarchal diocese has about 70,000 members in four states: Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan and Cyprus. It covers a mosaic of cultures, languages, religions and traditions.
