Welcome to Catholics for Israel!
"The Church... cannot forget that she received the revelation of the
Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible
mercy concluded the Ancient Covenant. Nor can she forget that she draws
sustenance from the root of that well-cultivated olive tree [Israel]
onto which have been grafted the wild shoots, the Gentiles. Indeed, the
Church believes that by His cross Christ, Our Peace, reconciled Jews
and Gentiles, making both one in Himself.
The Church keeps ever in mind the words of the Apostle about his
kinsmen: "theirs is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the
law and the worship and the promises; theirs are the fathers and from
them is the Messiah according to the flesh" (Rom. 9:4-5), the Son of
the Virgin Mary. She also recalls that the Apostles, the Church's
main-stay and pillars, as well as most of the early disciples who
proclaimed Christ's Gospel to the world, sprang from the Jewish
people... God holds the Jews most dear for the sake of their Fathers;
He does not repent of the gifts He makes or of the calls He issues." (NA 4)
We are an apostolate of Catholics for Israel and Catholics in
Israel committed to fostering a greater love for the Jewish people, for
Jesus the Messiah, and for His Body, the Catholic Church.
