Pope Francis meets with hostage families

Six months after the hostages were taken, Pope Francis has agreed to another meeting with families of the hostages still held captive by Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

Our prayers accompany that gathering, and also as we mourn the death of hostage Elad Katzir, whose body was recovered by the IDF just days ago.

Our persistent prayers for the 130+ men, women and children still held hostage are needed more than ever. Thank you for your fidelity to them and their families.
