General Summary........................................................................ 290 Appendix: Bishops and Patriarchs of Jerusalem: A.D. 62 to present 294 Index of Institutions and Places........................................................ 297 11 12 Foreword This is a new edition of the Directory of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land. For the first time it is published in English in order to make it available to a greater number of people, both in the Holy Land and throughout the world. The Directory is an instrument of communication, information and communion among the members of the Mother Church itself. It helps to keep alive and enhance the unity and solidarity which were so strong in the early days of the Church: “These remained faithful to the teaching of the Apostles, to the brotherhood, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2, 42)…” The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul” (Acts 4, 32). These values are necessary for the spiritual life, for engaging in pastoral work, and for bearing witness to Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the Directory is also useful to those who wish to know about the presence and activities of the Catholic Church through its shrines, parishes, religious congregations and orders, schools, academic institutes of higher learning, seminaries, hospitals and medical services, charitable and humanitarian centers, pilgrim services, etc. The Holy Land is the privileged place where the Mystery of Salvation unfolded. For Christians, it is the Land of the Patriarchs and the Prophets as well as that of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, and the birthplace of the Church. It is from the Mother Church of Jerusalem that millions of faithful received the Gospel and their faith in Jesus Christ. As Christians, we were all spiritually born in the grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem; as members of the Church, we all emerged from the Cenacle strengthened by the Holy Spirit, with the mandate to continue the mission of Christ in today’s world. While pilgrims have resumed walking in the footsteps of Jesus, the Directory will help them to better organize their unique spiritual experience, to support morally and materially the local Christian communities, and to be instruments of peace and fraternity. A glimmer of hope for peace in the Holy Land is shining again at the horizon. Let us sustain it with our prayer and presence as well as with ideas and works of peace. + Antonio Franco Nuncio and Apostolic Delegate 13 User's Guide English names The English names used to identify the various dioceses, institutes and institutions are those found in the Annexes of the Legal Personality Agreement between the Holy See and the State of Israel (November 10, 1997) which list the official ecclesiastical legal persons in existence at the time of the entry into force of the Agreement. Whenever an institute or institution is not listed in these Annexes, either because it established itself in the Holy Land after the signing of the Agreement or because it is established only in an area of the diocese that is not subject to Israeli law (West Bank, Jordan, Cyprus), its name has been translated by the present editors. If an institute has changed its name but has not registered the new one according to the provisions contained in the Legal Personality Agreement, the new name is given in parenthesis and in smaller letters after the one officially listed in the Agreement. Whenever an entity is traditionally known by some other name, either in English or in some other language, the traditional name is added in italics to facilitate use of this Directory by those unfamiliar with the institution's legal name. Date of arrival The date found next to the name of an institute or institution is that of its official arrival in the Holy Land, not that of its foundation. Alternate Mailing addresses Given the current difficulties in routing mail to the West Bank, several institutions that are located there have obtained Post Office Boxes in Jerusalem, hence the additional "mailing address" of several West Bank institutions. In some cases, the "local address" also contains a Post Office Box number. This address should be used only when sending mail from one address to another WITHIN the West Bank. Telephone numbers All telephone numbers are preceded by the area code within the country in question. They are dropped when calling a number within the same area, except when from a mobile phone. To call from one country to another, one must first dial the International Access Code particular to the country from which one is 14 calling, then dial the Country Code of the country being called. The Country Codes most commonly employed by the users of this Directory are the following: Country dialing codes Algeria Bahrain Belgium Canada Cyprus Djibouti Egypt France Germany Greece India Iran Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Libya Malta Morocco Oman Palestinian Territories Philippines Poland Qatar Romania Saudi Arabia Spain Switzerland Syria Tunisia United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Vatican City Yemen, Arab Republic of +213 +973 +32 +1 +357 +253 +20 +33 +49 +30 +91 +98 +964 +353 +972 +39 +962 +965 +961 +218 +356 +212 +968 +970 +63 +48 +974 +40 +966 +34 +41 +963 +216 +971 +44 +1 +39 +967 15 "Dear Brothers and Sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble worker in the Lord's vineyard. I am consoled by the fact that the Lord can work and act even with inadequate instruments. Above all, I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the Risen Lord, trusting in his permanent help, let us go forward. The Lord will help us and Mary, his Most Holy Mother, is on our side" (Greetings addressed to the faithful by Pope Benedict XVI following his election on April 19, 2005). 16 Part I The Holy See POPE BENEDICT XVI Bishop of Rome Vicar of Jesus Christ Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church JOSEPH RATZINGER Born in Marktl am Inn, in the Diocese of Passau, Bavaria, Germany, April 16, 1927; ordained Priest, June 29, 1951; appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising, March 24, 1977; ordained Bishop, May 28, 1977; proclaimed and created Cardinal in the consistory of June 27, 1977; appointed Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, President of the Pontifical Commission and of the International Theological Commission, November 25, 1981; Dean of the College of Cardinals, November 30, 2002; elected Pope, April 19, 2005; installed as Universal Pastor, April 24, 2005. 17 18 Apostolic Delegation In Jerusalem and Palestine Until 1929 Palestine was under the jurisdiction of the Apostolic Delegate to Syria who resided in Beirut, Lebanon. In March 1929, Pope Pius XI attached Palestine, which included the territories under British Mandate, to the Pontifical Representation in Cairo, whose incumbent also had a residence in Jerusalem. On February 11, 1948, Pope Pius XII established the Apostolic Delegation in Jerusalem and in Palestine, which included Israel, Jordan and Cyprus. Since 1994, following the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the State of Israel, the Apostolic Delegation covers only Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories.

After gaining its independence in 1959 and becoming a republic in 1960, Cyprus established diplomatic relations with the Holy See on May 28, 1973. Since then, the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem is also the accredited Apostolic Nuncio to Cyprus whose headquarters are located next to the Franciscan Church of the Holy Cross, at Paphos Gate, in Nicosia.

It is composed of the Catholic Ordinaries of the various rites who have jurisdiction over the territory of the Holy Land. The Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, approved the statutes of the Assembly on January 27, 1992. Its purpose is to coordinate both the witness of the Gospel and the service of the community, to study common problems, to encourage exchanges of information and experience, and to create common pastoral programs for the good of the entire Church.

LATIN CHURCH Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Latin Patriarchal Diocese of Jerusalem) The Church of Jerusalem was born on the day of Pentecost. It was governed at first by the College of Apostles under the leadership of St. Peter. St. James was the first bishop of Jerusalem. A long line of bishops has followed until this day. The Church of Jerusalem was recognized as a patriarchate by the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Over the centuries, the various Christian communities in Jerusalem shared a common history and, by and large, lived in harmony among themselves until 451 when, following the Council of Chalcedon, the Orthodox (Greek) separated themselves from the Orthodox Oriental Churches (Coptic, Armenian and Syrian). A second major division came in 1054 when the Churches of the East and those of the West separated from each other. Today, Jerusalem has thirteen Churches with constituted dioceses, six Catholic (Latins, Greek Catholics, Maronites, Syrians, Armenians, and Chaldeans), five Orthodox (Greeks, Armenians, Copts, Syrians, and Ethiopians), and two Protestant (Anglicans and Lutherans). When the Crusaders arrived in 1099, the Greek Patriarch Simon fled to Cyprus, leaving the See of Jerusalem vacant. Consequently, the Crusaders installed one of their own, Arnulf, as the first Latin Patriarch. The Latin Patriarchs succeeded themselves in Jerusalem from 1099 to 1187, at which time the city fell to Saladin, the Latin Patriarch moved to Acre, and the Greek Orthodox Patriarch returned to Jerusalem. In 1218, the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscans) opened its first monastery in St. John of Acre, thus becoming the oldest Roman Catholic institution in the Holy Land. When Acre fell in 1291, the Latin Patriarchs moved to Cyprus, then, in 1374, to Rome where they succeeded themselves as Titular Patriarchs until 1847. During their absence, the constant presence of the Franciscans in the Holy Land was a determining factor in the preservation, formation and growth of the local Catholic Church. 34 On July 23, 1847, the Patriarchal See of Jerusalem was restored as a residential see by the Apostolic Letter of Pius IX, Nulla Celebrior. The first to occupy the post, Patriarch Giuseppe Valerga, arrived in Jerusalem on January 17, 1848 and took possession of his see by solemnly entering the Holy Sepulcher, the cathedral of the Patriarchs of Jerusalem. Latin Patriarchs since the restoration in 1847: H.B. Patriarch Giuseppe Valerga H.B. Patriarch Vincenzo Bracco H.B. Patriarch Luigi Piavi, O.F.M. H.B. Patriarch Filippo Camassei H.B.

The Vicariate has grown out of the Apostolate. Three main challenges face the Hebrew-speaking Vicariate: 1. To establish and nurture Hebrew-speaking Catholic communities in the State of Israel for Catholic believers integrated into the life of Israeli Jewish society. Being Catholic in Hebrew within a predominantly Jewish milieu is a new experience in the history of the Church. 2. To serve as a bridge between the Universal Church and the people of Israel by strengthening the relationship of Jews and Christians and sharpening the Church’s awareness of her Jewish roots and the Jewish identity of Jesus and the apostles. Our faithful are engaged fully in the life of Israeli Jewish society and in the life of the Catholic Church. 3. To bear witness, as an integral part of the Church in the Holy Land, to values of peace and justice, pardon and reconciliation within a context of violence and war.

GREEK MELKITE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ANTIOCH Greek Melkite Catholic Patriarchate of Jerusalem The Greek Melkite Catholic Church in the Holy Land shares a common history with the Greek Orthodox Church. This common history lasted until 1724 when the hierarchy was split in two in the three Melkite Patriarchates of Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. Since that date, there have been parallel lines of Orthodox and Catholic Patriarchs, which explains why the Melkite Church is in full communion with the Church of Rome and, at the same time, deeply rooted in the Eastern tradition. In 1772, the Greek Melkite Catholics of Jerusalem asked Patriarch Theodosius V Dahan of Antioch to come under his jurisdiction. Pope Clement XIV responded favorably to their request. Since 1938, the Greek Melkite Catholic Patriarch of Antioch carries the personal title of Alexandria and Jerusalem. Patriarchal Vicars since 1834: Rev. Lazare Fasfous Most Rev. Meletios Fanda Rev.

In 1752, the see was restored as a Melkite diocese by Patriarch Cyril VI Tanas and attached once again to Tyr, which had become independent from Jerusalem. However, the Melkite bishops of Acre began to reside there only in 1804. Before 1932, the jurisdiction of Acre included Transjordan. The see became an archeparchy (archdiocese) on November 18, 1964 and includes all of Galilee. Titulars since the restoration: Most Rev. Macaire Oujaimi Most Rev. Macaire Fakhoury Most Rev.

Pierre Nasrallah Sfeir in Bkerkeh, Lebanon. Since 1945, it has jurisdiction over the Maronites in Jordan. The residence in Jerusalem was partially restored in 1976 by Bishop A. Harfouche, part of it serving as a center for pilgrims (Saint Maron Guesthouse), and part of it, with a multi-purpose hall for young people and parishioners, serving the needs of the Patriarchal Vicariate. The work of restoration was completed in the year 2001. That same year, the premises were expanded by the purchase of an adjacent house and the construction of a residence for the Exarch.

ARMENIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CILICIA Armenian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Jerusalem In 1856, Rev. Serope Tavitian came to Jerusalem, probably sent by H.B. Patriarch Grégoire Pierre III Der Asdouaza Dourian. At the time, the area on Via Dolorosa where the Third Station is now located was a vacant lot except for the presence of an old Turkish public bath. Because tradition held that a church had once stood on that site, he became interested in it. Thanks to the generosity of a distinguished Armenian Catholic, Andon Bey Missirli, he was able to purchase the land. He became the first Patriarchal Vicar. The present chapel at the Third Station served as his oratory. It was blessed by the Latin Patriarch in 1897. In 1881, the Vicar at the time, Father Joachim Toumaian who had been appointed in 1877, discovered the mosaic pavement depicting in its center a pair of sandals, thought to represent the spot where Jesus met his Mother (Fourth Station). A small chapel was erected on El Wad Street to commemorate this event. 91 The construction of the church marking the Third and Fourth Stations began at the same time as that of the Vicariate. The latter was finished in 1885 and the church in 1905. Enlargements followed in 1950 and 1964.

SYRIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ANTIOCH Syrian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Jerusalem In conformity with a decision made by the early Church, Jerusalem kept its status within the Syrian Church of Antioch as one of the vicariates of the Patriarchal See of Antioch. The Syrian Church, which united to Rome in 1782, established the Vicariate of Jerusalem in 1890. By a firman dated May 6, 1845, Ottoman Sultan Abdel Majid recognized the civil rights of the Syrian Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch in Jerusalem and in the Holy Land and exempted it from all taxes and customs. The residence of the Exarchate shared the vicissitudes of the wars and revolutions that took place between 1900 and 1973. It was successively transferred in 1948 from Damascus Gate in Jerusalem to Bethlehem and in 1965 from Bethlehem back to Jerusalem, to the present House of Abraham (Maison d'Abraham) at Ras El Amud-Silwan. In 1973, it purchased a property and settled definitively at 6 Chaldean Street. In 1986 the church of Saint Thomas was built along with other facilities that include the Saint Thomas Center for Pilgrims and a Youth Center. 93 Titulars of the Exarchate since 1810: Most Rev.

Custody of the Holy Land (1217) (Custodia Terræ Sanctæ) In 1217, the Franciscans created the Province of the Holy Land. In 1263, this province was divided into three territories, each one called a "Custody," one of them being known as the Custody of the Holy Land or of Syria, depending on where its communities were located. In 1291, following the fall of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Friars moved to Cyprus. In 1336, supported in their request to the Sultan of Egypt by the Sovereigns of Naples, the Franciscans were able to re-establish themselves permanently in the Holy Land after having obtained all the required legal rights to the holy places and acquired other properties and residences. These acquisitions were officially recognized by Pope Clement VI on November 21, 1342. From then on, the central headquarters of the Custody of the Holy Land were located next to the Cenacle on Mount Sion. However, the Friars were expelled from the site in 1551. In 1560, they acquired the present convent of Saint Savior in Jerusalem and transferred their central headquarters to the new location. 100 The principal responsibility of the Custody of the Holy Land has been, and remains, the protection of the holy places with which it has been entrusted since its very beginnings by the Holy See. It diligently maintains the shrines, basilicas and churches, and provides for the needs of its convents. It takes to heart the welcoming and care of pilgrims. The Casa Novas of Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Mount Tabor and Tiberias offer these pilgrims hospitality.

Educational Institutions A. Institutions of Higher Education Bethlehem University Bethlehem University was founded in order to provide the Christian community in the Holy Land with the opportunity to acquire a higher education. In the spring of 1973, the hierarchy and those responsible for education in the diocese suggested the creation of a university at the College run by the Christian Brothers (Collège des Frères) in Bethlehem. The proposal was accepted. Under the direction of three American Brothers, the University opened its doors on October 1, 1973.

The Institute is under the jurisdiction of the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem and operates in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame in the United States. Located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the Institute welcomes Christians of all denominations: scholars, members of the clergy, religion teachers, men and women, married and single, most of whom receive financial help from their respective institutions. A certain number of students receive scholarships from the Institute itself. Several programs are available, among them a Scholars' Program which affords students the opportunity to pursue research in a residential community of learning. The scholars in this program meet from time to time in colloquia to discuss each others' work. 219 The various programs are pursued according to the aims of the Institute which are: - To assist the search for Christian unity and interchurch harmony among diverse Christian communions. - To explore the relationship between Christians and peoples of other world faiths, especially Jews and Muslims. - To participate in the search for world peace and justice, through theological study and by exploring human rights and conflict resolution in different religious and social contexts.

French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem (Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française) L'Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française was founded as L'Ecole Pratique d'Etudes Bibliques on November 15, 1890 by Father Marie-Joseph Lagrange, O.P. (1855-1938) on the site acquired by his confrere, Father Matthieu Lecomte, where once stood the basilica built shortly after 431 by Empress Eudocia to commemorate the martyrdom of Saint Stephen. It was the first graduate school for biblical and archaeological studies in the Holy Land. Conducted by the Dominicans, L'Ecole Biblique was recognized by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres of Paris in 1920, thereby allowing it to complete its name Ecole Biblique with the words et Archéologique Française. In 1983, the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome granted l'Ecole Biblique the right to confer the degree of Doctor of Biblical Sciences.

Lindemann, O.S.B. Dean of the Institute: Dr. Joachim Negel Number of professors: 25-30 Pontifical Biblical Institute (PBI) When the Pontifical Biblical Institute was founded in Rome in 1909, a branch in the Holy Land was already being considered. Father Alexis Mallon, S.J. came to Jerusalem in 1913 to set up such a branch but was prevented from doing so because of the War of 1914-18. He returned in 1919. The cornerstone of the building was laid in October 1925 and the inauguration took place in July 1927. From 1927 to 1938, a few students from the Biblicum in Rome came to Jerusalem each year during the last semester of their studies. Beginning in 1952, the Jerusalem branch opened its doors to other biblical students. Courses in the biblical languages were organized from 1969 to 1972 for students preparing to attend the Biblicum in Rome. Since 1975, a program of seven months is offered by Hebrew University of Jerusalem to students of the Biblicum who have completed 223 in Rome the introductory course in biblical Greek and Hebrew. This program aims at deepening their knowledge of Hebrew and of the history, geography and archaeology of the land of the Bible. Since 1986, the Ecole Biblique of Jerusalem receives for one semester other students from the Biblicum in Rome who are halfway through their studies. In addition to the study of biblical Aramaic, this program includes courses in exegesis. Finally, since 2000, the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum offers each year in September a course in biblical archaeology to a significant number of students from the Pontifical Biblical Institute.

Studium Biblicum Franciscanum (SBF) Facultas Scientiarum Biblicarum et Archaeologiae Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology The Studium Biblicum Franciscanum was established in 1924 by Father F. Diotallevi, Custos of the Holy Land, as the Order's center for biblical studies in Jerusalem. The Convent of the Flagellation in Jerusalem was chosen as the Studium's base of operation and was adapted to its new purpose. A specialized library was built up, and a Palestinian archaeological museum was created. In 1927, by decision of the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM), the SBF became an integral part of the study program of the Antonianum College in Rome for courses in Holy Scripture. In 1933, the first archaeological campaign on Mount Nebo (Jordan) was conducted. On June 14, 1960, the Studium was recognized as the biblical department of the Pontificium Athenaeum Antonianum, and on March 15, 1982, the Congregation for Catholic Education erected it as the parallel branch of the Faculty of Theology of the same Athenaeum. On September 224 4, 2001, the same Congregation elevated it to the rank of Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology. Since January 11, 2005, Pontificium Athenaeum Antonianum has the title of Pontifical University "Antonianum." In addition to its degree programs leading to both the licentiate (S.S.L.) and the doctorate (S.S.D.), the Studium offers courses leading to specialized diplomas in Oriental Biblical Studies and Archaeology and in Biblical Formation. It also offers, on a yearly basis, a week of theological biblical updating and, periodically, a program of continuing education for those who serve as spiritual guides to pilgrims. Associated with the SBF is the Custody of the Holy Land's School of Theology, the Studium Theologicum Jerosolymitanum (STJ) (see the following section).

The inspiration for its founding was Nostra Aetate (#4) which states: "Since Christians and Jews have such a common spiritual heritage, this sacred Council wishes to encourage and further mutual understanding and appreciation. This can be obtained, especially, by way of biblical and theological inquiry and through friendly discussions." Bat Kol was founded as an institute where Christians can engage in biblical studies and explore their own historical relationship with the Jewish tradition as a whole. Each year Bat Kol Institute sponsors intensive month-long graduate-level courses in Jerusalem, accepted by the Gregorian University and several international universities. In addition, Bat Kol Institute staff supervises several international Bat Kol extension programs. 228 Address: Bat Kol Institute P.O.B. 10379 91103 Jerusalem Tel: (02) 671 50 57; Fax: (02) 671 50 56 E-mail: admin@batkol.info Website: www.batkol.info Administration: President: Academic Director: Director of Office Of Development: Glenn Edward Witmer, B.A., M.Div., Th.M.

Seminaries Latin Patriarchal Seminary of Jerusalem Opened in Jerusalem in December 1852 by Patriarch Valerga, the seminary was transferred to Beit Jala on September 7, 1857. Because of circumstances, it returned several times to Jerusalem, though its principal base of operations has been Beit Jala where it was permanently established on July 7, 1936. Directed at first by priests of the Patriarchate, it was entrusted to the Benedictines of Dormition Abbey in October 1921 and to the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Betharram in October 1932. Since July 1980, it is once again under the direction of the priests of the Patriarchate. The Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo serviced the seminary from 1921 to 1929 but have since been replaced by the Sisters of Saint Dorothy of Vicenza. 229 The curriculum comprises an introductory year of spirituality, a year to master the French language, and two years of philosophy, followed by four years of theology, plus a year of pastoral experience in the parishes before the diaconate. The curriculum in theology was affiliated with the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome on May 3, 1967. This affiliation enables the students to receive, at the end of the program, the degree of Bachelor of Theology. The academic and formation programs are based on the Ratio Fundamentalis, the Apostolic Exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis, the Ordo of the Pontifical Lateran University, and the Ratio Studiorum of the seminary which was updated in 1990 and published in the General Academic Calendar. Courses are taught in Arabic, French, and occasionally English. Founded mainly to train local clergy, the seminary has traditionally been and remains open to students from other institutions and countries who wish to prepare themselves, on site, for the service of the Church in the Holy Land. Since its opening in 1852 until the end of the 2007-08 academic year, 260 former seminarians have been ordained priests, 12 of them have become bishops, three of them patriarchs.

Since that time, hundreds of students from many countries have attended the Studium, many of whom have distinguished themselves in the fields of moral theology, biblical studies, history, and archaeology. On March 12, 1971, the Congregation for Catholic Education approved the affiliation of the Studium to the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical University "Antonianum" in Rome with the right to confer the Bachelor Degree in Sacred Theology. Afterwards, on March 15, 1982, the Studium became the first cycle of the parallel branch of the Faculty of Theology in Jerusalem, known as the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum. By 1987-88, courses in Philosophy began to be offered at the Franciscan Convent in Bethlehem. Then on September 4, 2001, the Studium 232 Theologicum continued its usual academic system of organization as the first cycle of the Faculty of Biblical Sciences and Archaeology, leading up to the Bachelor Degree in Sacred Theology. Its academic program is based on that of the Pontifical University "Antonianum" in Rome with a few addtional subjects relating to the specific context of the Holy Land. The Studium is under the responsibility of the Custos of the Holy Land and welcomes non-Franciscan students.

Emanuele Testa Studium Theologicum Salesianum "Saints Peter and Paul" - Ratisbonne Founded in Bethlehem in 1929, the Studium Theologicum Salesianum in the Holy Land was transferred to Tantur in 1949, then to Cremisan, near Beit Jala, in 1957. Since 1973, it has been affiliated with the Theological Faculty of the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome. In September 2004, the students and the academic staff moved to the former Ratisbonne Monastery in Jerusalem, under the patronage of Saints Peter and Paul. The primary purpose of the Centre is the intellectual and spiritual formation of young Salesian students preparing for the priesthood. Other religious or secular students presented by their respective ordinaries are also welcome. 234 Given its privileged location in the Holy Land, the Study Centre aims especially at highlighting a biblical formation by offering appropriate means to achieve this end. In addition, thanks to the ethnic and cultural richness of the Holy Land, it offers the students the possibility of achieving a desirable and necessary ecumenical and inter-religious formation. The regular professors and administrative staff belong to the same Salesian community. However, a number of guest professors from the Theological Faculty of the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome and from nearby theological centres also share in the teaching. The Studium Theologicum Salesianum is provided with an adequate library, which is constantly updated. The official language used in the Study Centre is English.

(Riunione Opere Aiuto Chiese Orientali), the Congregation for the Oriental Churches established the Secretariat for the Catholic Schools of the Holy Land under the direction of the Apostolic Delegate. After the creation of the Assembly of the Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land in 1992, the Secretariat reviewed its authority: - It transferred to the Ordinaries all matters directly involving the pastoral care of students as well as those pertaining to school and educational policies. It nevertheless remains an office dedicated to helping those Catholic schools and institutions that have recourse to its expertise. On September 1, 1993, the name of the organization was changed to Secretariat of Solidarity for Catholic Schools and Institutions of the Holy Land. It depends directly on the Apostolic Delegation in Jerusalem and collaborates with the Apostolic Nunciatures in Israel, Jordan and Cyprus. Activities of the Secretariat - - It collects annual statistics about the Catholic schools and institutions. It helps Catholic schools and religious institutions, through the intermediary of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, to obtain the ordinary and extraordinary funding they need to operate, in collaboration with the National Offices for Catholic Schools. It supports the pastoral, educational, and charitable activities of the Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land. It helps poor young Christians to pursue their cultural and professional education in local universities and institutions of higher education.

Badly damaged during the War of 1948, it was eventually turned over to the Holy See on March 2, 1972. By special decree of Pope John Paul II on December 13, 1978, it was erected as Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center. Considered an "Ecumenical Holy Place," the Center is canonically assimilated to a Territorial Prelature, of which the Apostolic Delegate is the prelate. Under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See, the Center was entrusted to the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ on November 26, 2004 by a Motu Proprio of Pope John Paul II. The activity of the Institute is religious, cultural and educational in nature. Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center is also a guesthouse for religious and pilgrims. It presently has some 144 available rooms, plus 4 meeting and lecture halls, a church, a chapel and a 500-seat auditorium.
