We are a Catholic apostolate made up of Jewish and Gentile Catholics from Israel and the nations, faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
In accordance with the teachings of the Church, we look forward to the full reconciliation of Israel and the Church in Jesus the Messiah—their “final marriage”—when:
Gentile Christians will repent of past acts of Christian antisemitism and grow in appreciation and love for their Jewish roots (CCC 528; Nostra Aetate §4);
the Jewish people will come to a historic reconciliation with Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah of Israel and Son of God—without forsaking their Jewish identity, culture, and heritage; (CCC 674)
both will be united in the Catholic Church, God’s ark of salvation. (CCC 845)
To this end, we seek to:
foster a love for the Jewish people and for Israel by reflecting on the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and the “mystery of Israel” in God’s plan of salvation. This includes combating antisemitism (often disguised as anti-Zionism) and the errors of replacement theology and dual-covenant theology. (CCC 839)
foster a deeper knowledge and love of Jesus, “light to the nations and glory of Israel”—the Messiah of Israel, Savior and Son of God. (Luke 2:32; CCC 430–455)
teach the biblical and Jewish roots of the Catholic faith, highlighting the ties between Israel and the Church and showing how the Church continues the work of Jesus the Messiah throughout history. God’s election of Israel is irrevocable; at the same time, the Catholic Church is “the world reconciled” and the new people of God, “the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation.” (CCC 839, 845)
