    To stimulate religious fervor and Christian pride, Pope Paul VI visited the Holy Land in 1964. In his desire to support the Palestinian people,\u00a0Bethlehem University was established in 1973<\/a>\u00a0as a joint venture between the Vatican and the De La Salle (Christian) Brothers. From humble beginnings with just three Brothers, a small group of Palestinian educators, and 112 students, Bethlehem University became the first registered university in Palestine. 21,614 men and women have graduated from Bethlehem University since its founding, and today it remains the only Catholic University in the Holy Land.<\/p>\n
