Pave the Way with representatives of Communion and Liberation
Communion and Liberation is a
fifty-year-old program initiated in Italy, which involves Catholic
high school and college students throughout 75 countries, including
the United States. This program promotes the establishment of meeting
facilities, where students can gather after normal classes and
participate in an array of activities. Communion and Liberation also
offers vacations, where groups from all over the country come to
meet and share experiences. In cooperation with the Israeli
Consulate General in New York, Communion and Liberation, and Human
Adventure Corporation, Pave the Way has initiated a program that
includes Jewish youth organizations, to join in cooperative sessions
with the Catholic groups, where cultural and religious qualities can
be shared and mutually celebrated. The Israeli government will
supply speakers to answer questions about Israel. We are hoping to
invite many of these students to come to Israel and enable Jewish
lifestyle and culture which can be shared with Catholic children, around
the world.
We are initiating the program in New
York with plans to expand through the US, and then other Nations
involving the Consular offices of the Israeli government, convenient
to each locality. We are extremely excited about the positive
prospect of this project and the dividends it will pay in promoting
understanding and tolerance into the next generation of children.
The first event will be hosted by the Israeli Consulate with over
100 C & L high school and college students.
Pave the Way has initiated the
inclusion of the State of Israel as a participant in the annual C &
L weeklong event in Rimini, Italy. Described as a state fair
including cultural exchanges, athletics and religion, this one week
long event draws almost 1 million visitors including Heads of
State and religious leaders from all over the world. Israel's
participation will enhance tourism.
