The Quest: A Personal Pilgrimage of Your Heart 
Join Us in Making a Difference This Christmas 


Dear Friends and Supporters, 

​

This Christmas, we invite you to embark on a journey of the heart by joining “The Quest,” an initiative of CRETIO in collaboration with Gebirah, both established under the inspiration of the Spirit of Opus Dei.

 

Together, we are answering an urgent call from His Beatitude Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, to support the Christian communities of the Holy Land. 

 

The crisis facing these communities is dire: dwindling numbers of Christians threaten the vibrancy of life in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, impacting not only Christians but the broader population who rely on them for essential services like schools and hospitals. 

 

Yet, amidst the challenges, there is hope. We believe that the future of Christians in the Holy Land lies in creating opportunities for meaningful work, community support, and cultural preservation. That’s where “The Quest” comes in.

At the heart of The Quest are interdisciplinary teams called Pods. Each Pod, composed of 4-6 young professionals from around the world, includes at least one local member from the Holy Land to ensure cultural and contextual relevance. These Pods collaborate to: 

​

  • Design and implement pilot projects with measurable local impact. 

  • Address pressing challenges in areas such as education, economic development, and cultural preservation. 

  • Present their outcomes during an award ceremony in Jerusalem.
