CNEWA-PMP collaborates closely with the Holy See’s Congregation for the Eastern Churches as well as other departments of the Holy See. Regional Offices of CNEWA-PMP in Amman, Beirut and Jerusalem are managed by directors who recommend, plan and execute programs in their particular area of responsibility. In Amman, this includes projects in Jordan and Iraq; in Beirut, this includes projects in Lebanon, Syria and Egypt; and in Jerusalem, this includes projects in Palestine and Israel. In exceptional circumstances, an emergency response team is formed to address pressing needs. Year of Establishment: 1949

"ما أجمل أن يجتمع الإخوة معاً" (مزمور ١٣١)
ترأس سيادة رئيس الساقفة، جيورجو لينغوا، القاصد الرسولي في القدس، القداس الإحتفالي في "رعية القديسن نيقوديموس ويوسف الرامي" في الرملة، احتفالا بانتهاء أعمال المخيم الصيفي لأبناء وبنات رعية الرملة.
ما أجمل وجوه الأطفال الباسمة السعيدة، وما أجمل التزامهم وهدوئهم خلال الاحتفال، أما مشاركتهم في الصلوات والترنيم فنموذجية بالفعل.
نتيجة لجهود جبارة يبذلها الأب عبد المسيح فهيم، كاهن الرعية ومعاونيه من مرشدي مدرسة الأحد الذين يتمتعون بحس عالي من المسؤولية والإلتزام.
أما القيمة المضافة لهذا النشاط الرعوي الذي تدعمه البعثة البابوية منذ سنوات، فهي زيارة الأماكن المقدسة وتشديد العلاقة بين المسيحي وأرض المسيح.ي"
