(Vatican Radio) The pontifical aid agency Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA),
is trying to raise awareness among the faithful about the Church’s rich tapestry of
historic eastern traditions.
President of CNEWA, Monsignor John Kozar will
be co-hosting with the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and the Pontifical Congregation
for Eastern Churches a special event in Rome next Wednesday, January 16th.
The event aims to introduce Italians to the reality of the eastern rite churches and
encourage them to participate in CNEWA’s efforts to support them. He told me about
some of CNEWA’s programs and how it’s helping families displaced by the Syrian conflict.
