How to Sponsor

From Emeritus Archbishop Joseph Jules Zerey To all the sponsors & visitors of this website.

“From Jerusalem & from Bethlehem Where our Greek Melkite Catholic Church is established with many cities around, I am first giving you a blessing to all those who are looking at this web site. I would like to talk   to you about our school, the Greek Melkite Catholic School in Beit Sahour which is the Shepherds Fields, and very close to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born, and I always consider that our parishioners in Beit Sahour are the grand, grand children of the shepherds who went to visit Jesus in Bethlehem. So we also have a school there and we are about 500 sudents but we are passing the last years by many difficulties. Most of our students can not pay the tuitions and also many of our teachers are coming from Beit Sahour & Bethlehem and we have to pay them their salaries. We are facing very big problems and I hope that we do not have in the future to close the school. Many of our students who are studying in our school and being educated are also having very good results. We have to do the best we can to help them and also not to immigrate, or leave the country, so after few years, we have no Christians at all, no Catholics even in this Holy Land.

   So from Bethlehem, from Jerusalem, from The Holy Land, I am also praying especially for all our benefactors. Thank you for all what you can do to help our students in our Greek Melkite Catholic Church in Beit Sahour in our Holy Land. As Emeritus Patriarchal Vicar of the Greek Melkite Catholic Church Patriarchate, I am giving a special blessing to you all and all your families. Thank you very much.”
