Rome, Italy, Feb 20, 2017 / 02:08 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- There are about three million people without heath care in war-torn Syria, and the papal envoy to the country has launched a project to help some of them.Cardinal Mario Zenari launched the Open Hospitals project to enhance and empower three Catholic hospitals in Syria.

Michael Miller of Vancouver said in a Feb. 16 letter to the faithful of his archdiocese.The archbishop invited the Catholic Church in Vancouver to reach out to suffering men, women and young people.
