About Us

Under the auspice of the Parish, considerable number of religious, kids and social activities take place. These activities are performed through different bodies that are mainly correlated within the Parish.

Our Mission
Due to the rigorous political and economic conditions in the Holy Land, considerable number of Christian families in Bethlehem had to immigrate seeking refuge from the political turbulence and economic recession. Authentic efforts have been invested towards the prevention and diminution of such a critical tendency. Thus, creating job opportunities, providing all types of assistance when needed and when available, enhancing all constituents and means of sustainability and perseverance became the adamantine target of the parish all throughout the past few years.
