“The resurrection is not just an event of the past; it is a living reality that calls us to action today. We must remember the victims, stand with the oppressed, speak truth to power, and continue to demand accountability no matter the cost.” – Sabeel Easter message
On February 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced to a stunned world his plan to “clean out” all Palestinians from Gaza and re-develop the region as “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
In this Christmas edition of our CFOS e-bulletin, we highlight the messages of our Palestinian Christian partners. Together with them we continue to yearn, pray and work for a ceasefire, an end to genocide, and a just peace in the Holy Land.

It is open to Canadian citizens or permanent residents aged 18 and older who have the potential to influence public opinion and decisions through their credibility, engagement, and reach.

“More than ever, now is the time for costly solidarity. By its very nature, true solidarity is costly. Is has a price. It is a faith-based stance, a human commitment, and a moral responsibility. True solidarity is also the embodiment of our shared humanity and fraternity.”
— Kairos Palestine II, released November 14, 2025
