Donors world-wide help us reach our goal!
Purchase of the building is complete! A new era begins
The Staff, Children, and the Board of Directors, with immense joy and thankfulness, announce that we raised the funds needed to purchase the property that Holy Child Program has rented since 2000. A closing took place in Beit Sahour, the Holy Land, in early July and on July 15th, the property was officially registered under the name of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
We deeply appreciate the support we have received from everyone who worked to make the goal of purchasing the property a reality. July 15, 2025, marked the end of a journey and the beginning of a new era during which we will increase our service to the children and families in the West Bank.
The support and trust in the mission of the Holy Child Program received from all over the world has been and continues to be very meaningful and motivating to everyone at Holy Child Program.
Thank you in the missionary spirit of Saint Francis,
The Board of Directors, Staff and Children of HCP
Thanks to our supporters, we bought our building and its beautiful land.

A Message To Our Friends and Benefactors:
We continue to write and submit grants to foundations, organizations and other entities who have supported our work in the past. We maintain regular communications with donors, visitors and supporters through newsletters, phone calls and emails.
All funds contributed for the purpose of purchasing the property remain separate from operating funds. We are committed to serving the children and families in the Holy Land and now can do that from our own property. Your contribution and the contributions of all those who share our mission were used to secure a permanent home for the Holy Child Program. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.
We want to be completely transparent with our donors by explaining our situation as thoroughly as possible so that you are aware of and have confidence in the financial management of your donations. Please be assured of our gratitude for your many years of trust and support. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Vice President and Treasurer, Francis Barillaro.
Blessings and good health,
The Board of Bethlehem Holy Child Program
