His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, together with Msgr. William Shomali, General Vicar, awarded the Golden Medal to Nativity Pilgrimage CEO Mr. Khaled Jacoub, in the presence of Fr. Rami Askria, and Mr. Issa Jamil Kassissieh, Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Holy See, for his continued help and support of the Holy Land.
Mr. Jacoub says:
“I am deeply grateful and truly humbled to have received the Golden Medal from His Eminence, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, together with His Excellency Bishop William Shomali. I sincerely thank His Eminence for his trust and for this meaningful recognition. I receive this honor with humility, as a blessing and a responsibility to continue serving the Church, the Holy Land, and our community with faith and dedication. This moment would not be complete without my family and loved ones, whose support and prayers have always been my strength. I thank God for this grace and entrust all that I do to Him.”
