Welcome to SIDIC Rome website

Giovanni Paolo II e il Rabino Toaff, nella Sinagoga di Roma - 1986The SIDIC Rome Center - Service International de Documentation Judéo-Chrétienne (International Service of Jewish-Christian Documentation), one of the fruits of the Second Vatican Council, was created in November 1965 by several bishops and experts who had labored for the declaration Nostra Aetate (par. 4) concerning the Christian Churches' relations with the Jewish people.

Underlying all of SIDIC Rome's work is the call of the Church to understand and esteem the Jewish people as it understands itself, and to deepen Christian faith through the study of the faith of the Jewish people, whom Pope John Paul II referred to as "our elder brothers." (Who we are)

 
DEFINITIVE CLOSURE OF THE SIDIC CENTRE ROME

We wish to communicate to all our friends that we will bring to a close all informative activity of the SIDIC Center. After 43 years since its foundation the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion have decided to close the Center. The staff of the Centre who have always used diverse ways of offering information that is up to date and correct through different publications and the web site, hope that they have provided a good service to Jewish-Christian relations. They wish to thank all the volunteers, collaborators and readers, who have believed in the usefulness of such a service within the Catholic Church, and are confident that other resources will be found to continue to provide this service.
The Documentation will continue to carry on its regular work until  July 15th, 2009.
