Archbishop at Igrit Church

Shadia Sbait and Amneer Toume are descendents of villagers displaced by the Israeli army in 1948 and their village, Iqrit, was destroyed on Christmas, 1951.  They will tell their 67-year story of ongoing struggles, legal campaign to return, hosting of summer youth camps on the site, visit with pope Francis and services and celebrations and a multi-year “live-in” at the surviving church, Saint Mary’s.  Such displacements have been and are common in Palestine.  This is one of the longest nonviolent popular and legal struggles for justice.
