Members of the USCCB’s 2014 peace pilgrimage to the Holy Land visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and say a mass for peace on the first afternoon of the visit. The peace pilgrimage is especially timely as it occurred 3 weeks after a ceasefire of fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
