Saint James Vicariate For Hebrew Speaking Catholics in Israel
Tiberias Community
The Tiberias community is the only Catholic parish around the Sea of Galilee. The Parish church is dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle, and is situated inside the Casa Nova that belongs to the Custody of the Holy Land. The church is ancient: It was originally built by the Crusaders around 1100 C.E. and it is located on the western shore of the lake, along the promenade of Tiberias.
During the week, mass is celebrated in English and is frequented mainly by faithful from the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, with pilgrims who happen to be present. On Saturday evening, the celebration is in Hebrew.
