Greetings from the Custos, Father Francesco Patton, president of the Association pro Terra Sancta

These are the words of the President of the Pro Terra Sancta Association, Francesco Patton (Custos of the Holy Land) at the conclusion of the annual assembly of the association which took place last 29 October in Jerusalem. 2020 was certainly a special year that saw Pro Terra Sancta committed to tackling the crisis caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, which has also strongly affected the Holy Land. Thanks to the support of the many generous donors, we were able to carry out many projects and respond to the new needs of the local population. The Custos’ thanks are for all the supporters of Pro Terra Sancta: “We are approaching Christmas and Advent, my thoughts go out to the donors who can live in the greatest possible serenity at this time both the time of Advent and, above all, the time of Christmas. Covid forces us all to remain closed in our homes, so let us take advantage of this need to build more meaningful relationships with our families”.
