Pope Francis urges Catholics worldwide to unite in a day of prayer and fasting, hoping for peace in the war-torn Holy Land. Catholics in Brooklyn are leading the charge with holy hours and Masses. Parishioners at the Cathedral Basilica of St. James prayed for an end to the violence.
Bishop Robert Brennan and Cardinal Timothy Dolan are standing in solidarity with the Jewish community amid increased conflict and rising antisemitism worldwide.
The conflict in the Holy Land continues, with Israel’s counter-attacks against Hamas in Palestine resulting in over 40,000 deaths and millions displaced.Following months of violent protests and rising anti-Jewish hate, Columbia University created a task force to address antisemitism and provide a platform for Jewish and Israeli students to share their stories.
