Event Details
Join us for an intimate exhibit of photographs taken in some of the most remote and challenging corners of our world. And who is my neighbor? The faces of CNEWA” introduces Sheen visitors to the vast array of peoples served by the people of God throughout the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe. Taken by a cadre of photographers — all of them women — who have tackled rough, even hostile, conditions on assignment for the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA), the images from this exhibit reveal the innate dignity and beauty of every person, each one made in the image and likeness of God.
The photographs are drawn from CNEWA’s treasure trove of images commissioned for its award-winning magazine, ONE, which the Catholic Media Association consistently honors as among the best in Catholic publishing since the magazine began in 1974.
ABOUT CNEWA
Catholic Near East Welfare Association was founded by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as an instrument of love and a sign of hope for those in need scattered throughout the historic but unstable lands of the ancient Eastern churches — the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe.
CNEWA is a network of generous and compassionate people scattered throughout the world, committed to living Jesus’ great command to “love one another” by reaching out to their neighbors in need, regardless of where their neighbor may be
