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
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 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:

"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).

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.

On December 30, 1993, the Holy See and the State of Israel signed a Fundamental Agreement, the equivalent of an international treaty, which defined and normalized several aspects of their mutual relations. On June 14, 1994, another agreement was signed establishing full diplomatic relations between the parties. An Apostolic Nunciature was opened in Israel, in the Old Jaffa section of Tel Aviv.

Apostolic Nunciature
In Cyprus
In establishing the Apostolic Delegation in Jerusalem and Palestine on February 11, 1948, Pope Pius XII wanted to include in its territory the Island of Cyprus. 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.

In Jordan
Formerly, the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem was also the Apostolic Delegate for Jordan. The office holders were therefore the same as those mentioned above for Jerusalem.
On March 3, 1994, the Holy See and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan agreed to establish full diplomatic relations. Subsequently, a Nunciature was established in Amman on April 6, 1994 and a Jordanian Embassy was accredited to the Holy See.

The Catholic Church in the Holy Land
-
Assembly of the Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land (Assemblée des Ordinaires Catholiques de Terre Sainte)
The Assembly of the Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land was established at the initiative of the Apostolic Delegate in Jerusalem to foster unity within the Church of the Holy Land. 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.
