Christian Media Center 4.14

The year 2014 witnessed a dramatic change in the orientation of the Custody of the Holy Land towards us: the Custody took the initiative of giving a new name to the “Franciscan Media Center”, founded in 2008, becoming known henceforth as the “Christian Media Center”. This positive development came as a result of the vision of the Catholic Church which believes in the importance of applying the global concept of religious and human integration among Christian communities living in the Holy Land.

The Christian Media Center is indeed the fruit of an on-going effort on the part of the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries in the Holy Land. It is a new approach, within a new format, more glamorous and elegant than before and compatible with the new media orientation of the Center, now located in two branches: the Jerusalem Branch at Terra Sancta College and the Nazareth Branch at the Maronite Parish Center in the Old City, home of the Brazilian Cancao Nova Community.

The Christian Media Center looks forward to the day when it will serve as a bridge and as an instrument of communication between the local Church, including its various communities, and the Christians worldwide. Through the news emanating from the Center, in different languages, and transmitted on a weekly basis through over 28 TV channels across the world, we can reach every institution concerned in the news, events, occasions and feastdays of the Holy Land.

We shall take into consideration in each step that we follow the faith of the Church in the meaning of joint livelihood among people, and the necessity to handle symptoms of suppression, fanatism and persecution which overwhelms the world in these days. We shall adhere to the meaning of Hope called for the Divine Child of the Grotto of Bethlehem, and devote ourselves for its propagation and enhancement.


We place our potential and our energies at this Center at the disposal of all concerned. We express our deep thanks to the Custody of the Holy Land which has supported the Center, providing it with its care and attention.
