Hoy en día no hay tantos grupos de peregrinos o turistas que viajan a Tierra Santa, lo que dificulta que los artesanos católicos apoyen a sus familias con la obra digna del nacimiento de Cristo.

On February 18-19, Bethlehem Nativity Products will be visiting our parish (at St. Frances of Rome church) on behalf of the Christian families in Bethlehem.

Nowadays, not so many pilgrim groups or tourists are journeying to the Holy Land, making it difficult for Catholic ar5sans to support their families by the dignified work of Christ’s birth.
