Pope Francis' Special Connection and [daily] Calls to a Gaza Parish | TIME (2025-04-21)

https://time.com/7279098/pope-francis-catholic-parish-in-gaza-enduring-connection-phone-calls/
------

>> As Pope Francis is remembered for his outreach ... his relationship with the Holy Family parish in Gaza stands out. The Pope made daily calls to the tiny parish ..., starting the practice shortly after the onset of the Israel-Hamas War on Oct. 7, 2023.

>> In a May 2024 interview with 60 Minutes, Pope Francis talked about how his calls to the parish in Gaza, occurring every evening at 7 p.m., were part of his daily routine. “They tell me about what happens there. It is very tough, ... I listen… and they tell me things. There is a lot of suffering.”

>> ... While he then missed some days when he was first announced as critically ill, as soon as he resumed certain work duties from his hospital bed, he returned to the check-in calls.
