As of today the Internet site Custodiae Terrae Sanctae Convegnum, on the 3rd International Conference of the Commissaries of the Holy Land, to be held in Jerusalem from Monday 30th January to Saturday 4th February 2012, is online.
The site, visible in three languages, Italian, English and Spanish, includes on the first page the invitation and introduction by the Custos, Brother Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and a section of news, continually updated, on the Conference, which can be followed through the institutional website of the Custody of the Holy Land and the videos made by the Franciscan Multimedia Center, the Custody’s centre for TV and multimedia information and communication. A detailed menu in a sidebar offers a series of indispensable organizational and practical information on the venue of the Conference and how to reach it, the Franciscan places that will be giving hospitality to the participants and the services that they can find there, the essential contacts, including the new office for the Coordination of the Commissaries of the Holy Land, which is based at St. Saviour’s Convent in Jerusalem, the presentations of the CIC - Christian Information Center and of the Franciscan Multimedia Center, the detailed programme of the days of the meeting, together with the liturgical prayer book produced specifically for the occasion and the calendar of the excursions and special events that will accompany the week of study and exchange of the Commissaries, the archives of news, videos and photos relative to the event.
The site is therefore a precious aid for all those who, in different capacities, are invited to take part in this important appointment which aims to make a significant contribution to the service of the Holy Land and the Franciscan Custody, through the efforts and experience of its Commissaries from different parts of the world. However, it also represents a valid tool for all those who wish to learn about the activity of the Commissaries of the Holy Land from closer by and to follow the work of the Conference which they will be attending in the next few days, to reflect and work out together appropriate strategies in view of the demands and the challenges that the Custody must face in the near future in that context, difficult and fascinating at one and the same time, that the cradle of all Christianity is.
