On July 18th, 2025, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa entered Gaza to visit the Latin Holy Family Parish, following the devastating strike that killed three people and wounded several others.
In this video, you will hear directly from Cardinal Pizzaballa as he shares what he saw, heard, and felt during his three-day visit. You'll also hear from Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, the parish priest, who describes the visit as a true moment of grace for the community.
Accompanied by His Beatitude Theophilos III, the visit was not made in a political or diplomatic capacity, but as pastors standing with their people.
Their message was clear and unwavering:
"The Church – and the entire Christian community – will never abandon them."
