Archbishop Nolan has travelled to Jerusalem to join fellow bishops from across Europe for the Holy Land Coordination 2025. He will be accompanied by Justice & Peace Scotland's Catholic Social Teaching Engagement Officer, Anne-Marie Clements.
The Holy Land Coordination is an annual meeting that is defined by four Ps – Presence, Prayer, Pilgrimage, and Pressure.
The bishops, accompanied by representatives from various Catholic organisations, go to be present to the Christians who remain in the Holy Land, to let them know they are not forgotten; to pray with them; to encourage pilgrimage to their land; and to advocate on their behalf at home.
Please remember the group in your prayers as the peace process is so delicately balanced.
