The Only Catholic University in the Holy Land<\/span><\/h2>\n

In 1964, Pope Paul VI visited the Holy Land. In his desire to support the Palestinian people, Bethlehem University was established in 1973 as 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bethlehem University provides modern and effective learning resources to enable all staff and students to pursue their academic activities in accordance with its vision, mission, and values. The University intentionally fosters interfaith knowledge and exploration, giving students inter-faith competency and building their capacity to respect all life. Twenty-nine percent of students study Nursing and Health Sciences, 19% Business Administration, and 17% The Arts (Arabic Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Religious Studies).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\t

\"\"To remain in Christ is not simply to believe; it is to be in relationship, staying present to one another, especially in times of difficulty. It is to accompany our brothers and sisters as Jesus accompanies us.<\/p>\n

Our Ask is Simple
\nCan your parish commit to supporting One student for the coming year?
\nTo do so is more than an act of generosity.
\nIt is an act of solidarity.<\/p>\n

The cost of a student’s education is $4,000 annually. By choosing to remain with a student in a moment when they might otherwise be forced to step away, you are ensuring that the Church\u2019s presence continues in the Holy Land, not only in sacred places, but in the lives of young people preparing to lead, serve their communities, and build a hopeful future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n
