Franciscan Friars offer housing to encourage living stones to stay in the Land of Jesus

JOSEPH SAYEH
Bethlehem
“My house is very small, there is no space… what can I say?”

The stones and the people, the oil and the house…and the gratitude for the mission of the Franciscan Friars. In the middle of the last century, the Custody of the Holy Land offered “bread and oil” in its parishes as a daily help. Today, due to the different needs of the population, providing housing or shelter for a dignified life has become a way to keep the Christian presence in the Holy Land alive.
