The John Paul II Vatican Foundation has awarded the Premio San Giovanni Paolo II to Mons. Jacques MOURAD, Syriac Catholic Archbishop of Homs, Hama, and Nabk. The Jury, chaired by Cardinal Kurt Koch, recognized in him „an extraordinary testimony of faith and Christian love, a tireless commitment to inter-religious dialogue and the building of peace”.
John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre (JPIIJPC) was established in 2007 to respond to the initiatives of the St. John Paul II „Ecclesia in Africa”. The Centre was named after John Paul II to keep alive the teaching of our late Holy Father who so tirelessly preached the Gospel call of peace and justice, especially in his „Ecclesia in Africa” document after the First African Synod 1994.
