Our Mission
Pope John Paul II was unquestionably one of the more important advocates for the reconciliation between Catholics and Jews. We want to make most Catholics and Jews aware of the tireless work which John Paul II did toward this
end. It is the mission of our Elder Brothers and Sisters Foundation, Inc.
to develop an educational vehicle through which the world would be reminded of
this beautiful and important legacy left by Pope John Paul II.
In coordination with the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Inter-religous
Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, we have developed a
simple brochure to be used as an educational tool. The brochure is an easy
read and, at the same time, has all the basic information of John PauI's
II
position on Jewish related matters. We intend that our program will become the most
successful, widespread grassroots effort ever to encourage better Jewish-Christian relations.
Our strategy is to work closely with the Catholic Church and with the Jewish
community to help realize our mission. In addition, it is our intent to
involve all interested religions that are committed to ecumenical work as a
positive step toward a better understanding among all the peoples of the world.
