Friends of the Holy Land celebrated in Coventry

Friends of the Holy Land held their final anniversary event at Coventry Cathedral on Saturday 16 November 2019.

This ecumenical service was led by Archbishop Suheil Dawani and Cardinal Vincent Nichols. It was followed by FHL's largest ever National Conference at the nearby Welcome Centre, where lunch was provided before hearing from FHL patrons, supporters and beneficiaries about how they have stood firm for the last 10 years and for their plans to come.
