Philos Catholic
Who We Are
Philos Catholic seeks to positively engage Catholics with the historical birthplace of their faith and build friendships with the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim people of the Holy Land. Our goal is to reconnect Catholics with their Hebraic roots, educating them about the Near East region.

All Catholics are invited to sign our statement of solidarity and action with the Jewish people.
