SPONSOR GROUPS OF THIS PEACE INITIATIVE
COMMISSARIAT OF THE HOLY LAND IN CANADA
Origin: The Commissariat of the Holy Land is a liaison organization between Canada and the leaders of Christian communities and the Holy Sites sanctified by the physical presence of Jesus when he lived on earth. It was founded in Trois-Rivières in 1888 by Blessed Frédéric Janssoone, O.F.M. and established permanently in Ottawa in 1919.
Mission: Our mission aims at making known the Holy Land where Christ lived and announced the Gospel, developing a permanent and effective solidarity between the parishes and the religious communities with the faithful of the first Christian church in the world: the Church of Jerusalem. The Commissariat supports the Custody of the Holy Land in the pastoral service of the Holy Sites and of Christian communities, as well as their charitable, educational, social, ecumenical and cultural organizations.
