The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

Dear Supporters of Justice and Peace Scotland,

We are pleased to let you know that booking is NOW OPEN and the programme of events for the visit of Fr Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, has now been confirmed. You are invited to join Justice & Peace Scotland, SCIAF, and the Archdiocese of Glasgow on Friday 26th April for two events in Fr Gabriel's company.

Join us first for "Hope For Peace in Gaza: A Conversation With Fr Gabriel Romanelli" which will consist of a keynote address by Fr Gabriel followed by a discussion panel and Q&A. Panellists will include Archbishop William Nolan, Archbishop of Glasgow and President of Justice & Peace Scotland, and Rev. Sally Foster-Fulton, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (other panellists still to be confirmed). After the talk, we will make our way to St Andrew's Cathedral for Celebration of Holy Mass with Fr Gabriel and the Archbishop. All details including address and timings are in the flyer below. Book your place by clicking on the flyer, or by clicking here. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hope-for-peace-in-gaza-a-conversation-with-fr-gabriel-romanelli-tickets-876630554587?aff=oddtdtcreator



Although the events marking Fr Gabriel's visit are free to attend, booking for the talk and Q&A is essential to allow us to monitor numbers. Registration will take place on the day to ensure those who have booked are admitted. There is no registration required for the mass. If you wish to attend the mass only, then please do not register, as this will reduce the available places at the talk.

We encourage as many of you to attend both events as possible to show our solidarity and support with Fr Gabriel and his community at this time of conflict and violence in The Holy Land, and ask you to please share the details of his visit with friends, family, and in your own networks.

We look forward to welcoming you on the 26th April.

In Peace,

Justice and Peace Scotland (The National Commission for Justice and Peace)
