Cardinal Pizzaballa urged Americans to support Holy Land Christians amid war, emphasizing faith, hope, and compassion during his Detroit visit.
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, concluded a four-day visit to Detroit on December 5, 2025, urging Americans to support Christians in the Holy Land amid ongoing war and devastation.
Speaking at events including a Mass and fundraising dinner, he stressed that hope is not a political solution but a spiritual and communal commitment rooted in faith.
Despite widespread destruction—especially in Gaza, where infrastructure is largely gone and food is scarce—sacramental life continues at the Holy Family parish, which shelters hundreds of displaced families.
The cardinal noted that despite trauma, displaced Christians show no anger, with one hospital director saying they cannot hate amid violence.
He called for changed attitudes, stronger institutions, and individual responsibility, as Gazans now face urgent questions about rebuilding and their children’s futures.
Detroit Archbishop Edward Weisenburger echoed the need for compassion, justice, and American accountability in addressing the crisis.
