Projects
There are many international agencies that can provide finance for major developments. The Friends work to assist in providing the resources for the smaller developments that can make a major difference within a busy school, parish, community or housing situation.
Projects currently under consideration which would provide income for local tradesmen and benefit to the parishioners include items for:
- Beit Jala: Church; Presbytery; Parish Community and Youth activities
- Bir Zeit: Parish Meeting Room
- Ramallah: Sacristy
- Aboud: Church entrance
- Jaffa Nazareth: Completion of Church Building
- Patriarchate: Re-furbishment of benches in Con Cathedral (involving monks from Beit Jamal)
We are also supporting the development of a Day Care Centre in Bethlehem for the elderly and infirm. This is through a local Bethlehem organisation "Care and Repair".
